The best explanation for the flow of energy in this food web would be option 3: Plants → Grasshopper → Snake → Mushrooms.

Plants are at the base of the food web, and energy flows from the plants to the grasshoppers, then to the snake, and finally to the mushrooms through decomposition. This represents the transfer of energy through different trophic levels in the ecosystem.
