Because the sizes of each level show that 10% is consumed by organisms at that level.

The correct response is:
Because 10% of the energy at each level moves to the next level and some additional energy is converted to heat.
This principle is based on the concept of energy transfer in an ecosystem, often referred to as the 10% rule, where only about 10% of energy is passed from one trophic level to the next due to energy loss through metabolic processes, heat, and other biological activities.
