C
biomass
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -biomass, the weight or total quantity of living organisms of one animal or plant species (species biomass) or of all the species in a community (community biomass), commonly referred to a unit area or volume of habitat.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biomass is the mass of all living organisms in an ecosystem, or the mass of one or more species in an ecosystem, at a particular time.

Detailed explanation-5: -Biomass (B) is a measurement of how much living tissue mass for a population is present at one instant in time (or averaged over several periods of time), and its units are mass (or energy) per unit area (e.g., g/m2) (Benke 1993).
