Answer 1

D) As you go from one level to the next, only 10% of the energy is transferred to the next level

Step-by-step explanation:

The 10% Rule 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. You can also look at an energy pyramid thing too, they show this! :D Hope this helps, have a nice day :))
