Answer 2

Producers have the largest amount of energy available.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Lindeman's Ten Percent Law, only 10 percent of energy is made available to the next trophic level while 90% of the energy captured from the previous trophic level is lost as heat to the environment . It means that when energy is passed in an ecosystem from one trophic level to the next, only ten percent of the energy will be passed on.

For example :-

Suppose a plant has total energy of 10,000J. When a herbivore will eat the plant , according to Ten Percent Law it will get 1,000J (10% of 10,000J). Now , when a carnivore will hunt and eat the herbivore , it will get only 100J (10% of 1,000J).
