I gave my students this multiple choice question: Which set of descriptions correctly states the difference between a population and a community?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- Population: one species in an area Community: one species worldwide
- Population: organisms in a small area Community: organisms in a large area
- Population: living parts of an area Community: living and nonliving parts of an area
- Population: one type of organism in an area Community: many types of organisms in an area

Could you tell me which one is correct?

Population: one type of organism in an area Community: many types of organisms in an area
