Answer: D) North Korea
==============================================================
Explanation:
The United States, the United Kingdom, and France are all countries that have capitalistic economies. This means that (for the most part) private industry and the market determines what products are produced and who gets those products. I said "for the most part" because these countries don't follow a purely capitalistic structure. There are some elements of government regulation to ensure that no breakdowns occur. The regulations are also to ensure some level of fairness as well, in addition to preventing things like fraud.
On the other hand, countries like North Korea are known as command economies because the government determines what products are to be made and they determine who gets the products. This means that they set the prices as well to whatever they feel is correct (even if the market may disagree otherwise). The term "communism" is often strongly connected to the term "command economy".
When energy passes from one trophic level to the next, I would guess that the two factors which decrease the total amount of energy from being passed up are:
1. An organism does not assimilate all the energy of food consumed. Within a consumer, digestion and assimilation of energy is not 100% efficient: some of the energy is lost.
2. A large proportion of energy assimilated by a producer and consumer is lost through respiration, i.e., day-to-day maintenance of metabolic processes.
