Detailed Solution

Concept- NPP stands for Net primary productivity.
NPP stands for Net primary productivity. It is the rate of the accumulation of energy in the form of biomass. The energy lost in the metabolic process is excluded. It is calculated by subtracting the amount of carbon that is released by plants during respiration. The amount of carbon is gained by plants during gross primary production. We know that secondary carnivores are secondary consumers. They have the same body mass of 100 KJ as that of NPP in a plant.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
