Answer
Correct Answer : c ) 10%
Explanation :The energy transfer in an ecosystem follows ten percent law. As per this law, only 10 % of total energy available at any trophic level passes to higher trophic level. Rest of energy is lost to environment in the form of heat. Some amount of energy is consumed by organisms at lower trophic level for their own growth and development.
