Answer:

B. ii മാത്രം

• An ecosystem is a dynamic community of living organisms (biotic components) interacting with the non-living components (abiotic components) of their environment.

• This interaction includes processes like energy flow and nutrient cycling, making it a vibrant and interconnected system.

• Examples of abiotic components include sunlight, water, soil, temperature, and atmospheric gases, all of which significantly influence the biotic community.
