What provides the energy which then flows through a food chain?(a) glucose (b) oxygen (c) respiration (d) sunlight

Academic Biology NCERT Class 10

Correct answer: (d) sunlight

Explanation: Sunlight provides solar energy to plants for preparing food, and this energy is then passed on to the next trophic levels through a food chain.
