In a food chain. Why would the tertiary or the final consumer get the least amount of energy from the producers and not the decomposers?

I’ve come upon this question on a test today and answered “decomposers”. I was then told that the final consumer was the right answer. I don’t understand since what eats those final consumers are the decomposers when they die so in my mind I think they would get least amount of energy from producers. I am confused.

It’s in your title. It’s a chain. It literally linear.
You need to learn where a mushroom and scavengers sit on that line.
