Solution

The correct option is B Biosphere
The highest level of ecological hierarchy is biosphere because it consists of the surface and atmosphere of earth or another planet. It cannot be ecosystem because that consists of only biological communites, similarly, it cannot be biomes because a biome consists of many ecosystems but is a part of the biosphere, it cannot be a landscape because it is a land that does not have a fixed natural boundary.
So the correct answer is 'Biosphere'.
