Vedclass · Answer

(C) An ecological niche describes the functional role of an organism or population within its ecosystem.It encompasses the specific set of environmental conditions (such as temperature,pH,and humidity) and the resources (such as food,water,and nesting sites) that the population requires to survive and reproduce.Unlike a habitat,which is simply the 'address' or place where an organism lives,the niche represents its 'profession' or how it interacts with its environment.Therefore,the correct definition is the set of conditions and resources it uses.

$i$. Habitat niche	$a$. In the absence of competition in the habitat
$ii$. Trophic niche	$b$. Position of organism in the environmental gradient
$iii$. Multidimensional niche	$c$. Physical space occupied by an organism
$iv$. Fundamental niche	$d$. Level of organism in the food chain
