Solution
The correct option is A Lentic biota
Lentic refers to stationary or relatively still water, such as lakes and ponds.
Lentic ecosystems can be compared with lotic ecosystems, which involve flowing terrestrial waters such as rivers and streams. Any biotic component can flourish more in still water as compared to running water.
Therefore, the flora and fauna in lakes or ponds constitute the lentic biota. Hence, the correct answer is option A.
