Solution
The correct options are
A Biotic components only
B energy flow and transfer of nutrients
Transfer of food energy from the producers through a series of organisms with repeated eating and being eaten is known as food chain. The food chain consists of producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers or top carnivores and decomposers. Energy trapped by the producers are transferred to other organisms in the food chain. Therefore a food chain in an ecosystem represents both feeding relationship and energy flow in an ecosystem. Ecological succession, on the other hand, is the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time. Niche is an individual attribute of every organism in an ecosystem.
