Which of the following is an artificial ecosystem?

Rice field
Forest

The correct answer is (a) rice field.

An artificial ecosystem is an ecosystem that has been created by humans. Rice fields are an example of an artificial ecosystem because they are created by humans to grow rice. Other examples of artificial ecosystems include farms, gardens, and cities.

Forests, grasslands, and lakes are natural ecosystems. They are not created by humans and they have developed over time without human intervention.

Forests are ecosystems that are dominated by trees. Grasslands are ecosystems that are dominated by grasses. Lakes are ecosystems that are dominated by water.
