Solution
The correct option is A True
The term 'Ecology' is derived from a Greek word 'Oikos' which means a place to live or habitation, and 'logos' which means study. So, ecology is the study of habitation of organisms. It was first described by Ernst Haeckel in 1869 who was a German biologist. He described ecology as the study of interactions in organisms with each other and with their surroundings or environment.
Hence, the statement given in the question is correct.
