D) Energy is transferred to consumers, which use it to produce food.

The answer is C

Explanation:

Organisms obtain energy in an ecosystem by feeding on one another in a chain called FOOD CHAIN. Energy is transferred when one organism feeds on another. A food chain always begins with a PRODUCER, which is an autotrophic organism capable of producing its own food via light energy from the sun.

In a terrestrial ecosystem, the energy a plant captures via Its Chlorophyll is used to produce food during photosynthesis. This energy is stored in the plants and transferred when a set of organisms called PRIMARY CONSUMER feeds on the plant. The transfer continues in that order till decomposers.
