A. No, he has calculated the number of calories incorrectly. It should be 1500, then 15, then 1.5.
B. No, he has mislabeled the first and second consumer levels. They should be reversed. Then, everything would be correct.
C. No, he has labeled the shrimp as a carnivore. Shrimp have no teeth, so they can't be called carnivores. Other than that, everything else is okay.
D. Yes, there is no error.
