Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- To match the items in Column I with the correct items in Column II, let’s analyze each pair:

- Succession: Succession refers to the process by which the structure of a biological community evolves over time, often starting with pioneer species.
- Ecosystem service: Pollination is a key ecosystem service provided by various organisms, including bees and other pollinators.
- Population growth: Natality, or birth rate, is a factor that contributes to population growth.
Now, let’s match them:
- A. Earthworm - 2. Detritivore
- B. Succession - 1. Pioneer species
- C. Ecosystem service - 4. Pollination
