There seems to be a typograhical error in option B and C: the word 'community' was repeated twice. However, I've corrected it

Answer: Option B) A community refers to all the populations in an area; a ecosystem includes both biotic and abiotic components

Explanation:

The important difference between community and ecosystem is that the effect of abiotic i.e non- living factors, are considered in an ecosystem, unlike in a community.

Thus, an ecosystem refers to a community of biotic factors i.e plants, animals and microorganisms, interacting together with their non-living environment.

Community, on the other hand, refers to interdependence that occur within a group of plants and animals that occupy a given area. Thus, community considers only biotic factors.

Adaptive radiation occurs when a population colonize a new environment that has a variety of different habits and FEIL competito

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

True (although question is not clear enough)

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation occurs when organisms evolve from the same ancestor. This process takes place as a result of environmental changes or when they are introduced to or colonize a new environment. These changes become challenges that force these individuals to adapt to these new conditions.

Therefore, this results into a faster evolution that creates different new forms that possess a diversity of variations adapted to their new feeding habits, environment, and behavioral needs.

One of the most famous examples of adaptive radiation is the formation of new forms of Galapagos finches. These striking finches, which arose from a common ancestor, evolved different beak sizes and shapes that were especially adapted to different types of food. As different as they may appear, they are closely related!
