Solution

The correct option is D $2 - 10 %$
About $1 - 5 %$ of incident solar energy or $2 - 10 %$ of PAR is captured by the photosynthetic organisms for the synthesis of organic matter(Gross primary productivity). Roughly $20 %$ of it is consumed in respiration so that net capture of energy(net primary productivity) is $0.8 - 4 %$ of incident radiation or $1.6 - 8 %$ of PAR.
