In ecological pyramid the base always represent the $...A...$ and the apex represents $...B...$ Here $A$ and $B$ represents
$A-$producers; $B-$top level consumers
$A-$top level consumer; $B-$producers
$A-$producers; $B-$secondary consumers
$A-$producers; $B-$primary consumers
$A$ : Detritus food chain begins with detritus.
$R$ : Detrivores like fungi and bacteria are major decomposers in such food chains.
Assertion : In a food chain, members of successive higher levels are fewer in number.
Reason : Number of organisms at any trophic level depends upon the availability of organisms which serve as food at the lower level.
