Answer
Answer:
B. part of a community, C. part of an ecosystem
Brief Explanations:
A community consists of all the different populations of organisms in an area. The garibaldi, purple sea urchins, and rocks are part of the living and non - living components in the kelp forest area, making them part of a community. An ecosystem includes all the living organisms and their physical environment in a particular area, so they are also part of an ecosystem. A population is a group of the same species, and these are multiple different entities, so not a population.
