Options
- AA - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
- BA - 4, B - 1, C - 2, D - 3
- CA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2
- DA - 2, B - 3, C - 4, D - 1
Correct answer
A. A - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
Unidirectional flow of energy (A) refers to the energy flow from the sun to producers to consumers (1). The First Law of Thermodynamics (B) states that energy is conserved in a system (2). The Second Law of Thermodynamics (C) indicates that systems tend to increase in entropy (3). The Detritus Food Chain (D) begins with dead organic matter (4).
