The correct answer is: 100 J
According to the 10 percent law, only 10% of the energy is transferred to each trophic level from its lower trophic level. If 10,000 joules of energy is available to the producer, then only 1000 joules 10000 ×10/100 = 1000 of energy will be available to the primary consumer and only 100 joules 1000×10/100= 100 of energy will be available to T2 organism.
