Read the following statements.

Statement A: Pyramid of energy for a sea is inverted.

Statement B: In a sea, a small standing crop of phytoplankton support a large standing crop of fish.

In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Energy flow follows 10 percent rule (only 10% of energy is transferred to successive trophic levels and 90% is lost to the environment) and so the pyramid of energy is always upright.

In the case of a sea ecosystem, the pyramid of biomass is inverted because small standing crop of phytoplankton supports large standing crop of fish.
