Answer:

The organism to have maximum energy would be the algae since ii will be at the lowest level. so the answer is 'B'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pyramid of energy shows the flow of energy from one trophic level to other. The lowest trophic level is occupied by the producers. In this case algae acts as the producer. Krill acts as the primary consumer, followed by leopard seal as the secondary consumer and finally killer whale as the tertiary consumer. The lowest trophic level contains maximum energy.

As we go upwards, only 10% of the energy gets transferred to the next trophic level.
