The correct order of ecological hierarchy from smallest to largest is:

d. organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere

This sequence starts with the individual organism, groups of organisms (populations), interactions between different populations (communities), the interactions within ecosystems, larger geographical units (biomes), and ultimately the entire planet's biological systems (biosphere).
