Solution

The correct option is A A.G. Tansley
The word ecosystem was first used in 1935 by A.G. Tansley (a British Botanist and Ecologist) to describe a basic unit of nature. Tansley coined the word as reduction of the term “Ecological system” to “Ecosystem”. According to him, nature works as a system in which organisms and their communities are influenced by many non living environmental factors.
