Solution

The correct option is C Biotic community
An association of individuals of different species living in the same habitat and having functional interactions is called a biotic community. It is also known as biocoenosis. Example of biotic components are animals, plants and microbes that means living things are called biotic components whereas nonliving things are known as abiotic components. Examples of abiotic components are temperature, air, minerals, and water etc. Together the biotic and abiotic communities make up an ecosystem.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
