Which shows the levels of organizational hierarchy listed from least complex to most complex?

Answer
A

community, population, ecosystem
D
population, community, ecosystem

Explanation

The levels increase in complexity from a population, to a community, to an ecosystem. A population is one species living in an area; a community includes populations of different species; and an ecosystem includes the community plus its physical environment. Therefore, “population, community, ecosystem” is the correct order.
