Solution

The correct option is C spindle shaped
Trees are very large, but the herbivores like caterpillars are very small. One tree can feed many caterpillars, but many caterpillars are needed to feed a small sparrow, and many small sparrows are needed to feed a sparrow hawk. If we draw a pyramid of numbers for this food chain, it looks spindle shaped.
