Living things follow a hierarchy which can be examined on a varying scale. They are highly structured as well as organized beings.
Many cells work and function together to form tissues. Many tissues function together to form organs. Molecules are two or more atoms held together. A population is a group of individuals which belong to same species living in a particular geographical area and have the capability to interbreed.
Therefore, organelle, organ and organism are not the most inclusive and nor is population, molecule and organ the least complex level from the given sets respectively.
Hence, the options a., b. and c. are incorrect.
The total collection of all ecosystems is known as the biosphere and it represents all the zones of life present on Earth.
Hence, the correct answer is option Living things follow a hierarchy which can be examined on a varying scale. They are highly structured as well as organized beings.
