Solution
The correct option is A pyramid of numbers in a forest ecosystem The given pyramid best represents pyramid of numbers in a forest ecosystem as it is upright. The producers are giant size trees in a forest ecosystem, and they form the base of the Pyramid. The producers are usually less in number, but they support a higher number of herbivores such as deer, birds and elephants. The number goes down at each succeeding level as the primary consumers support very fewer numbers of carnivores. This results in an upright structure of the pyramid of numbers in the forest ecosystem.
So, the correct answer is 'pyramid of numbers in a forest ecosystem'.
