Explanation

The habitat is a term to refer to the physical place where an organism lives (animal, fungus, plant or microorganism). The habitat is characterized by having the physical conditions necessary for the development, growth, and reproduction of organisms. It is also usually populated by several species at the same time. On the other hand, the ecological niche is a term to refer to how one or more species are positioned in a habitat about environmental conditions. In summary, the ecological niche is the relationship between a species and the other elements of its ecosystem. For example, the habitat of a  green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus) has as habitat the humid rainforests of South America, especially the Amazon, while its ecological niche is to be an omnivorous predator, also, it has as predatory rivals crocodiles and alligators. So, the correct answer is B. Habitat is a place in which organisms live, and niche is the way in which an organism fits into its habitat.
