I feel like its d for 16 because forest has flora as well as fauna and the main feature is the domination of woody vegetation

Please elaborate the difference between forest and forest ecosystem for my understanding

__________________

Forest ecosystem defines as the natural interaction between the flora and fauna where the the woody vegetation dominates

Forest is group of trees, shrubs and herbs and presence of flora alongwith their interaction is termed as forest ecosystem

Forest is a natural community of flora and fauna where woody vegetation is dominant.
