Study the following statements and the incorrect ones. (i) Pyramids of energy and yearly biomass production can never be inverted, since this would violate the laws of thermodynamics. (ii) Pyramids of standing crop and numbers can be inverted, since the number of organisms at a time does not indicate the amount of energy flowing throgh the system. (iii) There are certain limitations of ecological pyramids such as they do not take into account the same species belonging to two or more trophic levels. (iv) Saprohytes are not given any place in ecological pyramids even though they play a vital role in the ecosystem.

Assertion: Pyramid of energy can never be inverted. Reason: When energy flows from one trophic level to the next trophic level, some energy is always lost as heat at each step.

There are certain limitations of ecological pyramids correct option :- (A) It assumes a simple food chain (B) Saprophytes are not given any place in ecological pyramids. (C) It does not take into account the same species belonging to two or more trophic levels
