The correct answer is: Biomes contain multiple ecosystems.

Biomes are large geographical areas characterized by specific climate conditions, flora, and fauna, while ecosystems are smaller units within those biomes where living organisms interact with each other and their physical environment. An ecosystem can be found within a biome, and thus multiple ecosystems can exist within a single biome.
