Study the following graph of metabolic rate of various terrestrial mammals as a function of their body mass and choose the correct option below.(A)  Animals are distributed throughout the curve with the smaller animals towards the left and progressively bigger animals towards the right (B)  The smaller animals below a certain critical mass cluster at the left end of the curve and the larger animals above the critical mass cluster on the right end(C)  Animals are distributed throughout the curve with the larger animals towards the left and progressively smaller animals towards the right(D)  The larger animals above a certain critical mass cluster at the left end of the curve and the smaller animals below the critical mass cluster on the right end  

Answer»

Correct option  (A) Animals are distributed throughout the curve with the smaller animals towards the left and progressively bigger animals towards the right.

Explanation:

The metabolic theory of Ecology (MTE) is an extension of Kleiber's law and states that the metabolic rate of organism is the fundamental biological rate that governs most observed patterns in ecology
