Answer 1

Answer: I would say D. Carnivores have more available energy and are at a higher trophic level because they receive energy directy from herbiores.

Explanation: The grass gets its energy from the sun, the herbivore eats the grass which then gives the energy to the herbivore, then the carnivore eats the herbivore which gives the herbivore all of it's energy.
