Solution

The correct option is A Total biomass of an ecosystem in a specific area at a given time
Standing crop is the total dried biomass of the living organisms present in a given ecosystem at a particular time. It represents the entire living matter in a specific population at a particular time. The non-living (inorganic nutrients) like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus etc. present in the soil at that time is called the standing state.
