Solution

The correct option is C Both (A) and (B)
An ecosystem is generally defined as a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. The organisms in an ecosystem regulate the intake and expenditure of energy and the cycling of chemicals for sustained survival. These two flows in an ecosystem essentially connects the non-living abiotic components with the living, biotic components. Hence energy transformation and nutrient cycling are important for the sustenance of organisms in an ecosystem.
