Pyramid of trophic levels is always upright in case of
A
Biomass
B
Number
C
Energy
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pyramid of energy is always upright. As energy flows from one trophic level to the next trophic level some amount of energy is lost in each trophic level in the form of heat. Therefore, the pyramid of energy is always upright and can never be inverted.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complete answer: Pyramid of energy is the only pyramid that can never be inverted and is always upright. This is because some amount of energy in the form of heat is always lost to the environment at every trophic level of the food chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pyramids of energy are always upright, since energy is lost at each trophic level; an ecosystem without sufficient primary productivity cannot be supported.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the number of individuals takes into consideration i.e. at the top the number of individual consumers increases and decreases at the bottom thus the pyramid obtained is inverted. When the amount of energy and biomass various in each level always creates an upright pyramid.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: Pyramid of energy is always upright in shape, this is because as energy lost as heat along food chains either used in respiration or lost due to heat.
