Explanation:

Gross production refers to the total amount of energy or biomass produced by an organism or a group of organisms. Net production is calculated as gross production minus the energy used for respiration. Since respiration consumes some of the energy from gross production, net production is always less than gross production. Both plants and animals have net production.

Answer:

B. Net production is always less than gross production.
