The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The amount of living or organic matter present in an organism is called biomass. It is measured both as fresh and dry weight. Pyramid of biomass is a graphic representation of biomass present sequence wise per unit area of different trophic levels with producers at the base and top carnivores kept at the tip. Maximum biomass occurs in producers. There is a progressive reduction of biomass found in herbivores, primary carnivores, secondary carnivores.

Population Ecology

Population ecology is the study of these and other questions about what factors affect population and how and why a population changes over time. Population ecology has its deepest historic roots, and its richest development, in the study of population growth, regulation, and dynamics, or demography. Human population growth serves as an important model for population ecologists, and is one of the most important environmental issues of the twenty-first century. But all populations, from disease organisms to wild-harvested fish stocks and forest trees to the species in a successional series to laboratory fruit files and paramecia, have been the subject of basic and applied population biology.
