Given below is an imaginary pyramid of numbers. What could be one of the possibilities about certain organisms at some of the different levels?

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The image shows a spindle-shaped pyramid of numbers, which is typical for a single large tree (Primary Producer = 1).In this ecosystem, one tree (like a Pipal or Oak) provides food for many insects (PC = 500).These insects are then eaten by a smaller number of small insectivorous birds (SC = 50), which are finally consumed by a few top carnivores like hawks (TC = 10)
