it is lost as heat
rewatch

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "It gets used by the organism": Organisms use energy for metabolic processes, so this is true.
• "It decreases by 90% at each level": In an energy pyramid, about 90% of energy is lost (used or as heat) at each trophic level, so energy available decreases by ~90% per level.
• "It is lost as heat": Energy is lost as heat during respiration, so this is true.

Since all the above statements are true, the correct option is "All of the above answers are true".

Answer:

C. All of the above answers are true (assuming the third option is labeled C; adjust label based on actual question's numbering, but the text is "All of the above answers are true")
