The correct answer is option C

There is need of continual flow of energy in the ecosystem because there is no recycling of energy in the ecosystem.

The flow of energy in the ecosystem is unidirectional which states that there is no recycling of energy and loss of energy at every tropic level takes place.

The ultimate source of energy in the ecosystem is sun and the producers use this energy to make food and feed the other animals.

During this process the flow of energy is unidirectional.

There is certain percentage of error that occurs while carrying out an experiment by each of the individual. Physical conditions such as temperature, pressure changes from one place to another where the experiments are being carried out.
