The given ecological pyramid is

Options

  1. APyramid of energy for grassland and pyramid of biomass for a lake
  2. BPyramid of biomass for grassland and pyramid of number for tree
  3. CPyramid of number for sea and pyramid of biomass for grassland
  4. DPyramid of energy and biomass for a pond

Correct answer

C. Pyramid of number for sea and pyramid of biomass for grassland

Step-by-step solution

In the grassland ecosystem, the pyramid of numbers is upright or straight. The producers are mainly grasses are always more in number. The primary consumers as grasshoppers, rabbits, mice etc. Are Lesser than the number of grasses. The primary consumers are eaten by a relatively smaller number of secondary consumers as a frog, lizard, snake etc. These secondary consumers are consumed by only a few tertiary or top consumers as the hawk, peacock or other birds.
