The answer to this question would be: B) 5,400 J

The question for this problem probably asking about the energy for the secondary consumer. In the energy pyramid, the total energy transferred will be only 10% of total energy received/provided. That means the 54,000J from primary will be decreased into 5,400J in the secondary and then into 540J into the tertiary.
