The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The behaviour of energy in ecosystem can be termed energy flow due to unidirectional flow of energy. Flow of energy is only in one direction i.e., from solar radiation >> producers >> herbivorous >> carnivores. This energy cannot pass in the reverse direction. There is decrease in the content and flow of energy with rise in tropic level.
