Detailed Solution

Concept: A food chain is a linear or network-like structure that is created when one organism is dependent on another for its food needs, and that organism is dependent on yet another organism.
Raymond Lindemann formulated the 10% law of energy transmission in a food chain.
When energy moves from one trophic level to another, according to the ten percent law of energy transfer, only 10% of energy moves on to the following trophic level, and then 10% of that energy level moves on to the next, resulting in a significant drop in energy until it reaches the highest trophic level.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
