(a)उत्पादकता / Productivity

(b)कुजणे / Decomposition

(c)पोषण चक्र / Nutrient cycling

(d)उर्जा प्रवाह / Energy flow

1)फक्त (a) / Only (a)
2)फक्त (a) आणि (b) / Only (a) and (b)
3)(a), (b), (c) आणि (d) / (a), (b), (c) and (d)✓ Correct
4)(a), (b) आणि (d) / (a), (b) and (d)

An ecosystem functions as a self-regulatory and self-sustained unit through four primary functional processes: productivity, decomposition, energy flow, and nutrient cycling.

2)अ आणि ब फक्त
3)क फक्त
4)ड फक्त✓ Correct

Decomposition (अपघटन) is the biological process by which dead producers and consumers are broken down into simpler organic/inorganic compounds.
