    Solution

    Explanation: According to the 10% energy transfer rule, the highest amount of energy is stored in producers (plants, algae, and phytoplankton) because they capture solar energy through photosynthesis. As energy moves up the trophic levels (herbivores → carnivores → top predators), it decreases.
