Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- According to 10% law of energy flow by Raynold Lindman. The total amount of energy that can be transfered to the next trophic level is the 10% hence, peacock will receive 0.02 J of energy as top consumer. Energy recieved by other organisms are Plant $ \to $ 20 J Mice $ \to $ $ 20\times 10,=2,J $ Snake $ \to $ $ 2\times 10,=0.2,J $
