[Choice C] ecosystem
[Choice D] biome
[Choice B] population
The correct answer is [Choice B] population.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the definitions of each term.
A community is a group of different species living together and interacting in a specific area.
A population refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in the same area and interacting with one another.
An ecosystem is a system comprising living organisms (such as plants and animals) and their physical environment (such as soil, water, and air), which interact together as a unit.
A biome is a large geographical area characterized by its specific climate, vegetation, and wildlife.
Based on these definitions, the relationship between a mother and her child does not fit any of these options perfectly, but the closest fit would be a population. However, it's worth noting that "population" usually refers to a group of individuals of the same species, while a mother and her child could technically be different individuals of the same species.
So, the best answer would be:
[Choice B] population
