Which of the following lists the correct hierarchical levels of organization in biology?

The correct answer lists a comprehensive and accurate sequence of biological organization, starting from the most basic level—atoms—and progressing through increasingly complex levels up to the biosphere, which is the Earth itself.

At the atom level, the fundamental units of matter combine to form molecules, which are essential for various biochemical processes. These molecules constitute cell organelles, which are specialized structures within cells that perform distinct functions necessary for cellular operation. Cells, the basic units of life, then form tissues, which are groups of similar cells that work together to perform specific functions. Tissues organize into organs, which are structures made up of different types of tissues that work together. These organs then form a system of organs that collaborates to perform complex functions for the organism, which is a complete living entity.

Following the individual organism, the hierarchy continues with populations, which are groups of individuals of the same species that live in the same area. This is followed by biocenosis, referring to the complex of living organisms in a particular habitat. The ecosystem level includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors in an environment, which interact with one another. Biomes consist of large areas that share similar climate and ecosystems, such
