Solution
The correct option is B Environment
The word ecosystem was coined by Tansley a British botanist in 1935. Tansley defined ecosystem as a system resulting from the interaction between biotic and abiotic components of the environment. Biotic components include all living components and abiotic components include all physical factors such as weather, atmosphere, soil, etc. present in the surrounding. Hence the prefix 'eco' means environment.
