Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is A) Organism.

Ecology is the branch of biology which deals with the study of relationships among different organisms as well as to their physical environment. Thus, it includes all the life forms and their surroundings ( biotic and abiotic components).

Organism is considered as the functional unit of ecology. This is because without organism, there will not be any interaction in the environment.
