The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of the ecosystem associated with still or stagnant water bodies. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The terms "still" and "stagnant" indicate that the water does not flow, which is a crucial characteristic for identifying the type of ecosystem. 3. **Defining Ecosystems**: - **Lentic Ecosystem**: This term refers specifically to ecosystems in still or stagnant water bodies, such as ponds, lakes, and marshes. - **Lotic Ecosystem**: In contrast, this term refers to ecosystems in flowing water bodies, such as rivers and streams. 4. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - The question mentions "lentic" for still water bodies. - Other terms like "pelagic" and "benthic" refer to zones within marine ecosystems and are not applicable to the question about stagnant water bodies. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the definitions and characteristics discussed, the ecosystem of still or stagnant water bodies is called a **lentic ecosystem**. ---
