D) Frog and man

Answer 1

Hint: To define an ecosystem, it is defined as a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. So, from the definition it is very clear that organisms as well as their environment are the factors of ecosystem.

Complete answer:
As suggested in the hint, ecosystem is a self regulatory, self-sustaining and the functional unit of nature in which all the living organisms interact among themselves and also with the surrounding physical environment. They both interact and exchange materials between them. It can vary greatly in size for example from a small pond to a very large forest or sea.
From the above discussion we can conclude that there are two factors in the ecosystem that is the organism and the environment. Organisms form the living biotic community of ecosystem and the environment forms non living abiotic communities of the ecosystem.
The living factors of the ecosystem combine all the microorganisms and all the living creatures like plants, animals and all those who have life in themselves and nonliving factors of the ecosystem mainly consist of temperature, water, light, soil, etc and all those which are responsible for forming a comfortable environment.

So, the correct answer will be option C.

Note: From the above description we can conclude about the abiotic and biotic factors of the ecosystem, both these factors are together responsible for forming a functional unit of this biosphere and keeping life sustained on earth.
