(A) They wanted the arrows pointing to the organism receiving the energy, hoping it is easier to understand.
A food chain or web is a diagrammatic representation of the movement of energy in the ecosystem. It involves sources and receivers such as sunlight, plants, carnivores, herbivores etc.
The arrow by convention is in the direction of the transfer of energy. For instance, the arrow points from cow to lion, snake to frog and grass to deer.
