Solution

The correct option is D Both the assertion and the reason are false
Ecological pyramids were developed by Charles Elton and are, therefore, also called Eltonian pyramids. An ecological pyramid is the representation of energy flow in an ecosystem. It can be upright, inverted or spindle shaped depending on the type of pyramid. There are three types of pyramids- energy, biomass and number at each trophic level.
