Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have is correct I believe, typically we see net productivity usually drops by a factor of ten from one trophic level to the next. But here we are trying to go back from secondary consumer ----> primary consumer ----> producer. So if we had started from 56,000 then we would have 560 by the time we reach secondary consumer.
