Find out the correct statement:

Options

  1. ATrophic level represents a functional level, not a species as such.
  2. BA given species never occupies more than one trophic level in the same ecosystem at the same time.
  3. CIn most of the ecosystems, producers are less in number and biomass than the herbivores.
  4. DPyramid of energy can never be upright.

Correct answer

A. Trophic level represents a functional level, not a species as such.

Step-by-step solution

A given species can occupy more than one tropic level in the same ecosystem at the same time, but a given species cannot occupy more than one tropic level in the same food chain. In most ecosystems, producers are maximum in number and biomass than herbivores. Pyramid of energy is always upright.
