$(i) (kcal m^{- 3}) {yr}^{- 1} (ii) {gm}^{- 2} {yr}^{- 1}$
$(iii) g^{- 1} {yr}^{- 1} (iv) (kcal m^{- 2}) {yr}^{- 1}$

1. (ii)

2. (iii)

3. (ii) and (iv)

4. (i) and (iii)

Ans. (c) Productivity is the rate of production of biomass or organic matter by any trophic level per unit area over a time period. It s expressed/measured in terms of weight (e.g.
