The chemicals and energy follow a same path in the ecosystem.
The only difference in their work is that energy gets lost in the system whereas, the chemicals are absorbed and recycled.
When we talk about energy, it comes from sun and is then converted into a fruit.
The primary consumer eats it and as it goes up the ladder
Man eats the animal. In the whole process some energy is inherently lost. but, when we talk about chemicals, plants draw chemicals from the soil and convert it to fruit.
This fruit gets consumed by the primary consumer, the tertiary consumer eats the primary consumer.
The excreta of all the consumer releases the chemicals back into the soil.

Answer:
Path of chemicals in ecosystem b) Cyclic.
Explanation:
The path of chemicals in an ecosystem refers to the transfer of nutrients or chemicals from one trophic level to another in an ecosystem.
There should be a balance of nutrients that are being transferred from one level to another so as to maintain a sustainable ecosystem.
Usually, the nutrients are transferred in the following order primary consumers, producers, "secondary consumers" and decomposers. Usually, only 10% of energy or nutrients is "transferred from one trophic" level to another.
