The diagram shows the energy flow through different trophic levels of two different ecosystems, Ecosystem P and Ecosystem Q.

Energy transfer comparison between Ecosystem P and Ecosystem Q

Which statement correctly compares the energy transfer efficiencies in the two ecosystems?

The efficiency of energy transfer from producers to primary consumers is 7.0%7.0\%7.0% lower in Ecosystem Q than in Ecosystem P.

The efficiency of energy transfer from primary consumers to secondary consumers in Ecosystem P is 8.0%8.0\%8.0%, which is greater than the corresponding efficiency in Ecosystem Q (5.0%5.0\%5.0%).

The overall efficiency of energy transfer from producers to secondary consumers is 0.64%0.64\%0.64% in Ecosystem P, which is greater than the overall efficiency in Ecosystem Q (0.75%0.75\%0.75%,.

The efficiency of energy transfer from primary consumers to secondary consumers in Ecosystem Q is 20.0%20.0\%20.0%, which is greater than that of Ecosystem P.
