Answer 1

B. the relative amounts of energy contained by the organisms in each trophic level

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentages represents the relative amounts of energy contained by organisms in each of the trophic levels.

A trophic level is a feeding level, it is the level occupied by an organism in a food chain.

• As we can see, there is a 10% decrease in the amount of energy as we go up.
• This shows that energy diminishes according to the 10% rule upward.
• The percentages signifies the amount of energy available at each of the trophic levels.
