What is an ecosystem?

  1. A social community of people interacting with their environment

  2. A biological community of organisms interacting with one another and their physical environment

  3. A controlled environment for scientific research

  4. A digital platform for environmentalists

The correct answer is: A biological community of organisms interacting with one another and their physical environment

The concept of an ecosystem, short for ecological system, refers to a natural biological community where living organisms exist in a complex web of interactions with one another and with their physical environment. It is not a social community like option A suggests, nor is it a controlled environment for research like option C describes, or a digital platform as mentioned in option D. Instead, it is a natural balance between living and non-living components that work together to sustain life.
