Which of these explains a community?

  1. A group of organisms found in several habitats
  2. A group of populations found in several habitats
  3. A group of many populations of different species living in the same habitat ✓
  4. A group of populations of the same species living in the same habitat
Explanation

A population is one species living in one place. A community is all the populations living together. So a community is a group of many populations of different species living in the same habitat, for example the plants, insects and birds of one pond.

A group of populations of the same species is just one population, not a community.
