B.
The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. When wheat is eaten by a mouse and the mouse by a coyote, the chemical energy in the wheat is transformed into the mouse's and then the coyote's energy (with some lost as heat and waste), but total energy is conserved.
