Question

The interaction of a species with the environment is called as

• A. Ecosystem
• B. Autecology
• C. Environment
• D. Community

Answer 1

The correct option is B Autecology

Autecology is the branch of ecology that deals with the biological relationship between an individual organism or an individual species and its environment. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system.

Community ecology or synecology is the study of the interactions between species in communities on many spatial and temporal scales, including the distribution, structure, abundance, demography, and interactions between coexisting populations.

So, the correct answer is 'Autecology'
