The best evidence that supports the rule that only 10% of energy is transferred from one organism to another is:
There are fewer organisms at the top of the food chain because there is less energy available for life processes.
This statement illustrates the concept of energy transfer in an ecosystem, highlighting how energy diminishes at each trophic level, leading to fewer organisms at higher levels due to limited energy availability.
