I apologize for the error in my previous response. The correct answer is 10,000 kJ.

This calculation is based on the 10% rule in ecology, which states that approximately 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in a food chain or food pyramid. In this case, if there are 100,000 kJ available to the producers, then 10% of that energy, which is 10,000 kJ, would be available to the secondary consumers.

Therefore, the correct answer is 10,000 kJ. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
