<span>Digoxin toxicity is a poisoning that occurs in people due to excessive intake of the medication digoxin or the consumption of plants such as foxglove and lily of the valley that contain digoxin. Manifestations for digoxin toxicity that the nurse should monitor for before administering this medication are vomiting, loss of appetite, confusion, blurred vision, arrhythmias, decreased energy, and irregular heartbeat. The nurse should also closely monitor the electrolyte levels because low levels of potassium and magnesium increase the risk for digoxin toxicity. If digoxin is administered, the heart rate should be counted before every dosage. If the heart rate is lower than 60 beats per minute, the drug should be stopped and the health care professional should be notified.</span>

</span><span>
In food pyramid, the biomass will be much lower in the higher level. In general, every level will have lower of mass/energy compared to the level below. Then, the greatest biomass should be found in the producer class. High-level consumer like bird or mammals should have the lowest mass. 
But it was inverted in aquatic, producer become the lowest mass so phytoplankton and zooplankton must be lowest. You should be able to exclude option A and C so it is either option B or D. Since B has zooplankton, I prefer to choose D
