The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Ecosystem**: An ecosystem consists of living organisms (biotic factors) and their physical environment (abiotic factors) interacting as a system. It is a complex network of relationships among organisms and their environment. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides three options: - A) Food Chain - B) Food Web - C) None of these 3. **Analyzing Option A (Food Chain)**: A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms where each is eaten by the next in the chain. For example, grass → rabbit → fox. This shows how energy and nutrients flow from one organism to another. 4. **Analyzing Option B (Food Web)**: A food web is a more complex representation that includes multiple food chains interconnected. It illustrates how various organisms are related through feeding relationships. For instance, if we have several organisms like A, B, C, D, and E, they may interact in various ways, leading to a web of connections. 5. **Conclusion**: Since both food chains and food webs are integral parts of an ecosystem, the correct answer is that an ecosystem creates both a food chain and a food web. Therefore, the answer is not just one of the options but includes both A and B. 6. **Final Answer**: The ecosystem creates both a food chain and a food web. ---
