Answer:

b. Yes, the average efficiency is 10%

Explanation:

The average efficiency at each trophic level is 10% because there is about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to another. In some trophic levels the efficiency of organisms is 20% but in most of the trophic level has 10% efficiency so that's why the average efficiency is 10%. Yes, this ecosystem  obeys the Lindeman's Law for ecological efficiency due to its 10% of ecological efficiency.
