Solution

The correct option is B Pond ecosystem
  • A pyramid of numbers is a graphical representation that shows the number of organisms at each trophic level.
  • A pond ecosystem refers to the freshwater ecosystem where there are communities of organisms dependent on each other for their survival .
  • The pyramid of number is inverted in a pond ecosystem because the biomass of primary consumers (fish) is higher as compared to primary producers.
  • So the correct answer is 'Pond ecosystem'.
