Solution

The correct option is A The biomass in each trophic level is usually lesser than that of the trophic level below
Pyramids of biomass can be both inverted as in an aquatic ecosystem or upright as in a forest ecosystem. But, upright pyramids of biomass are usually seen in terrestrial ecosystems. Therefore, it is most appropriate to say that biomass in each trophic level is usually less than the trophic level below in a terrestrial ecosystem.
