Answer:

Consumer 3 contains the least amount of stored energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of energy flow decreases with every successive trophic level and only 10% is passed to the next level as useable biological energy and the rest 90% is utilized and stored by the organisms of the previous trophic level and some amount is lost during the transfer. As consumer 3 is at the top therefore will have least amount of stored energy.
