The correct answer among the choices provided is the second option. The living matter found at each trophic level in an ecosystem is found in a biomass pyramid but not in a numbers pyramid. A biomass pyramid is the amount of organic matter present in a living organism. The pyramid of numbers is represented by the number of organisms at each tropic level.
