The pyramid of number with huge tree as producer and numerous herbivores and a single hawk as carnivore will be a)spindle shaped b)Urn shaped c)Upright d)Inverted e)Dumb bell shaped
In a parasitic food chain, for e.g., an oak tree, the large tree provides food to several herbivorous birds. The birds support still larger population of ectoparasites leading to the formation of an inverted pyramid.

When a large tree support larger number of herbivorous birds which in turn are eaten by carnivorous birds like falcon and eagle, which are smaller in number, it forms a spindle shaped pyramid.
