The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Ecosystem**: An ecosystem is a complex network that includes all living organisms (plants, animals, microorganisms) and their physical environment (air, water, soil, light). 2. **Identifying Components**: Ecosystems are made up of two main types of components: - **Biotic Components**: These are the living parts of an ecosystem, including all forms of life such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. - **Abiotic Components**: These are the non-living parts of an ecosystem, which include elements like air, water, soil, and light. 3. **Interrelationship**: There is a significant interaction between biotic and abiotic components in an ecosystem. For example, plants (biotic) require sunlight (abiotic) for photosynthesis, and animals (biotic) depend on plants (biotic) for food. 4. **Conclusion**: Given the options provided in the question, the correct answer is that an ecosystem has biotic and abiotic components. This interaction is essential for the functioning of the ecosystem. **Final Answer**: Option D - Biotic and Abiotic Components. ---
