Solution

The correct option is C Ecotone.
Habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal, plant or another type of organism.
An ecological niche is the role and position of species in its environment; it is the way of survival and reproduction.
An ecotone is a transition area between two biomes. It is where two ecosystems overlap each other. It may be narrow or wide, and it may be local (the zone between a field and forest) or regional (the transition between forest and grassland ecosystems).
Ecotype describes a genetically distinct geographic variety, population or race within a species, which is adapted to specific environmental conditions.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
