secondary consumer :120 g
primary consumer : 60 g
primary producer : 10 g

A

Upright pyramid of numbers

B

Pyramid of energy

C

Inverted pyramid of biomass

D

Upright pyramid of biomass

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`*` The given data depicts the inverted pyramid of biomass, usually found in aquatic ecosystem.
`*` Pyramid of energy is always upright
`*` Upright pyramid of biomass and numbers are not possible, as the data depicts primary producer is less than primary consumer and this is less than secondary consumers.
