The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the type of ecosystem that a pond represents. We need to identify the correct term that describes a pond ecosystem. 2. **Identifying Ecosystem Types**: - **Lotic Ecosystem**: This refers to ecosystems with flowing water, such as rivers and streams. - **Lentic Ecosystem**: This refers to ecosystems with still water, such as ponds and lakes. - **Benthic Ecosystem**: This refers to the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water, including the sediment surface and sub-surface layers. - **Xeric Ecosystem**: This refers to dry environments with low moisture levels. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - Since a pond is a body of still water, we can eliminate the lotic, benthic, and xeric options. - The only option that fits is the lentic ecosystem. 4. **Conclusion**: The ecosystem of a pond is classified as a lentic ecosystem. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option B: Lentic**.
