Answer 1

The correct conclusion supported by the Energy Pyramid is:

C. Ninety percent of the energy is lost from one level to the next.

This reflects the typical concept in ecological pyramids where only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next level, meaning that the majority of energy (about 90%) is lost in the process (as heat, metabolic processes, etc.).
