Sagot :
Well as you move along a food chain, energy is lost due to excrement, growth, respiration, etc. So having a really long food chain would mean very few nutrients from the original plant would actually make it to the apex predator. From that knowledge, C looks like the answer. Nutrients definitely aren't lost from an ecosystem, and I don't see how recycling nutrients or energy would be a limiting factor on the length of a food chain, since it can happen at any point on it
