Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is the 2nd option : $1.5$ calories.

Explanation:

Lindeman proposed the Ten percent law, which states that $10$% of energy is transferred in the food chain. The energy pyramid illustrates the flow of energy from one trophic level to the next in the food chain.

According to the $10$% law, $90$% of the captured energy is lost as heat in the previous level, leaving just $10$% for the next level.

Therefore, only $10$% of $15$ calories will incorporated into the bodies of the carnivores after eating the herbivores which is equal to $1.5$ calories.
