Solution

The correct option is B Saprophytes/Decomposers
  • Ecological pyramids are a representation of the relationship between different trophic levels. These are shown with regards to biomass, energy, and number of organisms.
  • The producers are present at the base of pyramids and tertiary consumers are shown at the apex of the pyramids. In this, saprophytes/decomposers are not given any place although they play an important role in an ecosystem.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Saprophytes/Decomposers.'
