Answer:

B. Great white shark

Step-by-step explanation:

In any food pyramid, the organism at the top of the food pyramid usually gets the least amount of energy in the food pyramid, while those at the bottom have the highest energy in the food pyramid. This is because, as energy moves up the pyramid, some are lost.

In an hypothetical ecosystem, the great white shark will top the food pyramid. Therefore, it would get the least amount of energy in the food pyramid.
