Answer

Brief Explanations:

A population is a group of the same species. Here, coconut - crabs alone could be a population, but the combination of coconut crabs, coconut palm trees, and sandy soil is not a population. A community consists of all the different populations of living organisms in an area, so coconut crabs and coconut palm trees are part of a community. An ecosystem includes all living organisms (biotic factors like coconut crabs and coconut palm trees) and non - living components (abiotic factors like sandy soil) in an area.

Answer:

B. part of a community C. part of an ecosystem
