The correct answer is "C".

A species is a group of related organisms that are usually capable of interbreeding and reproduce. A population is a number of organisms that belong to the same species who live in a certain geographic area at a given period in time. Finally, a community is an association of populations of two or more species that share the same geographic area at a particular time.

I think the correct answer from the choices presented above is option C.  The organization of an ecosystem can be described as species that make up populations, which make up communities. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
