Answer:

d. none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy, which refers to the ability to do work, can exist in different forms. The process of changing energy from one form to another is called TRANSFORMATION OF ENERGY. In an ecosystem, all organisms require energy in order to perform their life processes. They acquire these energy in different forms and convert it to a usable form by their cells (chemical energy) in ATP.

For example, solar energy in Sunlight is used by plants to drive their photosynthetic process and change it to chemical energy in glucose. Also, predators and herbivores feeding on herbivores and plants respectively converts one form of energy to another. Hence, all options are examples of energy transformation. None of the above is the correct answer.
