Correct Option: B
The amount of energy as it passes on from one trophic level to another in an ecosystem decreases. According to "10% law of energy transfer" given by Raymond Lindenan, the total energy which is transferred from one to another trophic level is 10% of the total energy, rest 90% gets consumed in metabolic activities. (of that trophic level itself).
