The correct answer is option (A) leaves > deer > wolf.
A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which the nutrients and energy flow as one organisms feeds on the other. They show organisms starting from the producers and end with consumers or sometimes with detrivores or decomposers. Each level of the food chain is called the trophic level. The producers which use solar energy and prepare their food occupy the first trophic level, followed by the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary consumers occupying the next trophic level.
In the food chain given above, leaves > deer > wolf, deers feed on the leaves which are maximum in number comparitively, wolf feeds on the deer which are comparitively more in number than the wolves. This is the correct sequence of food chain showing the tranfer of energy and decreasing number of organisms with subsequent increase in the trophic levels.
According to natural selection process, the trend that will occur is that the number of organisms with harmful characteristics will decrease while organisms with neutral or beneficial traits will increase in the plant population
<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>
Natural selection is the process by which organisms with favorable features and characteristics that enable them to adapt to their environment survive while those with unfavorable traits die off.
In a changing environment, it will be observed that the organisms with the most favorable traits will be the most dominant in the environment.
Therefore, for the Year 5 and Year 10, the most likely trend that will occur is that the organisms with harmful characteristics will be decreasing in the plant population while organisms with neutral or beneficial traits will likely be increasing in number.
