The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Ecosystem**: An ecosystem is defined as a structural and functional unit of ecology. It encompasses the interactions between living organisms and their environment. 2. **Components of an Ecosystem**: Ecosystems consist of two main types of components: - **Biotic Components**: These are the living components of an ecosystem, which include: - Green plants (producers) - Animals (consumers) - Decomposers (organisms that break down dead organic matter) - **Abiotic Components**: These are the non-living components, which include: - Air - Temperature - Light - Water - Soil 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Green plants and animals - This option is incomplete as it does not include decomposers or abiotic factors. - **Option B**: Green plants and decomposers - This option is also incomplete as it does not include animals or abiotic factors. - **Option C**: Green plants, animals, decomposers, and abiotic environment - This option includes all necessary components of an ecosystem. - **Option D**: Producers and consumers - While this option mentions two important groups, it does not explicitly include decomposers or abiotic factors. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the most comprehensive option that includes all essential components of an ecosystem is **Option C**: green plants, animals, decomposers, and abiotic environment. **Final Answer**: Option C is the correct answer. ---
