The correct answer is **B) sun → plants → animals**.
In a food chain, energy flows from the sun to plants (producers) through the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy. Then, energy is transferred from plants to animals (consumers) when the animals eat the plants.
