Answer:

The assimilation of the primary consumer is 5000 kcal/m2/yr, option C.

Explanation:

From the information in the question, the Net Production Efficiency, NPE can be calculated using 100Cp/AS.

Where CP is the consumer productivity and AS is the Assimilation.

Therefore, 20 = 100 x 1000/AS

AS = 100,000/20 = 5000 kcal/m2/yr. Option C.
