Explanation
The Assertion (A) is false because an ecosystem is defined as a functional unit where biotic (living organisms) and abiotic (physical environment) components interact and are highly interdependent. These interactions facilitate the flow of energy and the cycling of nutrients, which are essential for the survival of the system.
The Reason (R) is true. Human activities, including industrialization, agriculture, and urbanization, have significant impacts on the environment, often leading to habitat degradation, pollution, and climate change.
Since the assertion is factually incorrect while the reason is a correct statement, option D is the right answer.
