The correct Answer is:
B
Pyramid of the number in tree ecosystem is inverted. For example, a large-sized tree (producer) may support and provide nourishment to several frugivorous birds. The number of ectoparasite like mites, ticks, bugs etc. dependent upon birds for nourishment is much more than birds. The number thus increases at each trophic level.
