Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
Productivity in the Ecosystem The flow of energy through a terrestrial ecosystem starts with the harnessing of sunlight by autotrophs. The radiant energy is converted by photosynthesis to organic compounds is known as productivity. The productivity is expressed in units of energy per unit of area per unit time. The amount of organic matter present at any given time is biomass. The productivity of any ecosystem is affected by many parameters like weather conditions, nutrient availability etc. The productivity of any ecosystem does vary seasonally and yearly.
The Net Primary Productivity of an ecosystem are represented by:

  1. A NPP = GPP + Respiration
  2. B NPP = GPP - Respiration
  3. C NPP = Radiant Energy - GPP
  4. D NPP = Radiant Energy + GPP
