<span>The question is asking "Which best matches a list that a scientist would make to describe a forest ecosystem? " An ecosystem is the total of all animals, plants and of the physical enviroment (soil, etc) in a given place. All of these would have to be present in the description, but it would not be possible to expect the list of all the animals - since for example not all of them are known or classified. So the best answer is
A. Different types of animals and plants, and the forest soil</span>
