The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "All populations in a given physical area are defined as," we will analyze the options provided and arrive at the correct answer step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a term that encompasses all populations within a specific physical area. This implies we are looking for a broader term that includes multiple populations of different species. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Population**: This term refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific area. It does not encompass multiple species. - **Ecosystem**: This term refers to a community of living organisms (biotic factors) interacting with their physical environment (abiotic factors). While it includes interactions, it is broader than just populations. - **Biotic Community**: This term refers specifically to all the populations of different species living and interacting in a particular area. It is a collective term for all living organisms in that area. - **Territory**: This term usually refers to a specific area defended by an individual or group, and it does not refer to all populations. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Since the question specifies "all populations" in a given area, the most appropriate term is "biotic community," as it includes all populations of different species living together. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer is **C. Biotic Community**.
