a.

quaternary consumers


b.

secondary consumers


c.

primary consumers


d.

producers

Answer 1

the answer is d because when you go up the pyramid a little bit of energy is lost each time. producers get their energy directly from the sun meaning they get the most since they get their energy right from the main source

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is- d. producers.

Biomass can be described as the amount of organic matter or living matter that is present in an organism within an ecosystem.

Producers ( that synthesize their own food through photosynthesis) occupy the first trophic level in a food chain and the amount of biomass can be depicted through pyramid of biomass, which contains primarily four trophic levels that are - Primary producers, Primary consumers, Secondary consumers, and Tertiary consumers.

Producers ( or primary producers) have maximum biomass because they occupy the first level in the food chain and only 10 % of the energy ( biomass) is transferred to the next trophic level as remaining is utilized in cellular processes and lost as heat in the surrounding.
