Solution

The correct option is C a and d
Ecosystem is formed by the interaction of biotic and abiotic components present in the environment. On the basis of its origin, it is either natural or man-made (artificial). Forest, grassland, desert, lake, pond, swamp, river, and ocean are examples of natural ecosystems while croplands, parks and aquariums are examples of man-made ecosystems. Both the ecosystems, either natural or man-made, are very efficient in terms of their productivity, self-sustainability, and renewability. Since it is made for commercial purposes, man-made ecosystems consist of few chosen crops and they lack natural diversity. Thus, statements (a) and (d) are incorrect with respect to man-made ecosystems.
