Solution

The correct option is B Food chain is more comprehensive than food web in displaying possible transfers of energy
Food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms and ending at apex predator species or decomposer species. It shows how the organisms are related with each other by the food they eat. Whereas a food web is a system of interlocking and interdependent food chains which shows that food web is more comprehensive than food chain in displaying possible transfers of energy.
