C. Population. A population is a group of organisms that belong to the same species that live in a particular geographical area at the same time.
A community is a collection of populations of different species. A niche is the relative position of an organism or population in relation to its ecosystem and each other. Equilibrium is a state in which living organisms or a population are that regulates its internal environment. And an assemblage is a taxonomic subset of a community. So as you can see a community is the best choice.
Hope this helps,
