In a food web, energy decreases as you move up the trophic levels. The base of the food web includes producers, such as plants (or grass), which have the most energy because they create their own energy through photosynthesis.

In your path, the order is: plants (grass) → mouse → rabbit → owl.

Thus, the population of organisms that has the most energy is:

grass (or plants)
