In an ecosystem, species interact through food chains/webs (predation/consumption). Option A is wrong as isolation is rare. Option C is incorrect as it's not plant - only. Option D is false as most species are interconnected. So B best describes the interconnectedness.

Answer:

B. Every species and individual is connected by predation or consumption.
