Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The matter is transferred from one organism to another in the form of energy. This energy is transferred from the producers to consumers.

The energy is not completely transferred from one organism to another. Some amount of energy is released in the form of heat.

This heat from the body of the organism is released into the outer environment.
