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.'
