Correct answer: "A population has only one species, while a community has many species."
Brief explanation:
- Population = all individuals of a single species living in a particular area at a particular time (e.g., the deer in a forest).
- Community = all the interacting populations of different species in the same area (e.g., deer + trees + fungi + birds + insects in that forest).
(The other choices confuse populations/communities with ecosystems or biomes; those are broader concepts that include both living communities and their physical environment.)
