Correct answer: D). Energy decreases from bottom to top because some is used at each level for life processes.

The pyramid of matter and energy in the ecosystem tells that when energy flows from one trophic level to another trophic level, then some amount of energy is always lost as a heat, which is lost to the atmosphere and it never comes back.

Therefore the primary consumers obtain 10% of energy from the autotrophs and secondary consumers get 1% of energy and that of tertiary consumers get 0.1%. It shows that top consumers receive the least energy. It is also called as10% law.
