The diagram above shows an energy pyramid for an aquatic ecosystem. Which of the following statements best explains why the energy pyramid is narrowest at the top?

• The organisms at the top of the pyramid are the most efficient feeders.

• The organisms at the top of the pyramid have the largest population sizes.

• The organisms at the top of the pyramid need only a small amount of energy for their metabolism.

• The organisms at the top of the pyramid receive only a small fraction of the energy that originally enters the system
