d

Explanation:

Producers, like plants, convert solar energy into chemical - energy through photosynthesis. In the energy transfer through trophic levels, energy is lost at each step. Since producers are at the base of the food chain and start the energy - conversion process, they are the most efficient in energy conversion compared to consumers which obtain energy by consuming other organisms and have energy losses during digestion and metabolism.

Answer:

A. producers
