Solution

The correct option is B Biomass
An ecosystem as a functional unit consumes resources and generates biomass as a result of resource consumption. By measuring the biomass of a given area, one can measure the productivity of the ecosystem. In order to generate biomass, the plants of an ecosystem need to expend energy and consume it for daily activities including growth and addition of new tissues.
