The correct answer is:
B

According to the 10% law of energy transfer, energy decreases at each trophic level.

• Plants (producers) contain more available energy.

• Animals are at higher trophic levels, so less energy remains.

When humans eat plants directly (vegetarian diet), they obtain energy more efficiently than eating animals (non-vegetarian diet).
