community
B

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A population is a group of organisms of the same species in an area. If there were a herd of only zebras, this would be a population interaction. A community is a group of organisms from different species in an area.

Detailed explanation-2: -A group of interacting populations forms a community. A community and its physical environment together form the ecosystem. When many ecosystems that are similar to each other interact with each other on a large scale, it is called a biome.

Detailed explanation-3: -A population is a group of individuals of the same species that live in the same geographic area that interbreed with each other. Many species consist of multiple populations dispersed over a few to many geographic areas.
