    2 unit

    Explanation:

    According to the 10% law, the transfer of biomass energy from one higher trophic level to lower trophic level is only 10%.

    Primary (Producer) →Primary consumers→secondary consumers→tertiary consumers.

    that is 2000→200→20→2

    note: only 10% of the total biomass is received by the next trophic level.

    therefore tertiary consumers will receive 2 units of biomass.
