[Choice C] population
[Choice D] biome
[Choice C] population
The correct answer is [Choice C] population.
The correct answer is Choice C: population.
To determine the level of organization that represents a group of organisms of one species that live in the same place at the same time, we need to understand the different levels of organization in ecology.
The levels of organization in ecology are often organized in the following sequence, from smallest to largest:
1. Individuals: Single organisms of a species.
2. Population: A group of organisms of the same species that live in the same place at the same time.
3. Community: All the populations of different species living and interacting in the same place at the same time.
4. Ecosystem: A community of organisms interacting with the physical environment in which they live.
5. Biome: A large geographic area with similar climatic conditions and specific types of communities.
In this context, a group of organisms of one species living in the same place at the same time would be classified as a population. Thus, Choice C: population is the correct answer.
