Solution
The correct option is B Inverted Pyramid of number indicates the number of organisms at each trophic level. In parasitic food chain, the pyramid of numbers is inverted. In this, the primary producers (plants) are least in number followed by primary consumers (herbivores) followed by secondary consumers (parasites). In this, the maximum number of individuals are present at the top trophic level (hyperparasites).
