    The answer is C

    Explanation:

    It is given that every trophic level wil lose 90% rate of kilocalories. So we know that every level will only gain 10% of kilocalories and we can do it step by step:

    First trophic level,

    300 000 kilocalories

    Second trophic level, gain only 10%

    (10/100) * 300 000

    = 30 000 kilocalories

    Third trophic level,

    (10/100) * 30 000

    = 3000 kilocalories

    (Hope you can understand)
