Answer:

A will represent more energy transfer as compared to C and E.

B will represent more energy transfer as compared to D.

When green plants are eaten by primary consumers, a great deal of energy is lost as heat to the environment, some amount goes into digestion and in doing work and the rest goes towards growth and reproduction. An average of 10% of the food eaten is made available for the next level of consumers. This loss of energy takes place at every trophic level.

Alternatively, accept - In accordance with the 10% law of transfer of energy in a food chain only 10% of energy available at one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.
