The answer is the third one: where energy, biomass, or numbers are the MOST abundant and where they are the LEAST abundant.

Explanation:

  1. "It shows us which species are MOST important to humans and which are LEAST important to humans." - This is incorrect because biological pyramids do not rank species based on their importance to humans. Instead, they illustrate the distribution of energy, biomass, or numbers among different trophic levels in an ecosystem.

  2. "The location on Earth of each of the species in the pyramid" - This is incorrect because biological pyramids do not provide geographical information about species. They focus on the relationships and quantities within an ecosystem's trophic levels.

  3. "Where energy, biomass, or numbers are the MOST abundant and where they are the LEAST abundant" - This is correct. Biological pyramids (such as energy pyramids, biomass pyramids, and pyramids of numbers) show the relative abundance of energy, biomass, or numbers at each trophic level in an ecosystem. They help us understand the flow of energy, the amount of living material, and the population sizes from producers at the base to top-level consumers at the apex.
