Available energy to the primary consumer was 1000 J, option C is correct.
Explanation:

So
(10% of energy of second consumer) = Energy of third consumer
after calculation
Energy possess by second consumer = 100 J
2. Energy transfer to second consumer is 10% of energy possess by first consumer.
So
(10% of energy of first consumer) = Energy of second consumer
