Solution

In ecology, a habitat is the type of natural environment in which a particular species of organism lives. Every organism has certain habitat needs for the conditions in which it will thrive, but some are tolerant of wide variations while others are very specific in their requirements. A habitat is not necessarily a geographical area, it can be the interior of a stem, a rotten log, a rock or a clump of moss, and for a parasitic organism it is the body of its host.
So the correct option is 'habitat'.
