The answer is A: Food source.

Explanation for each option: A. Food source - Correct. An organism's niche includes its role in the ecosystem, which encompasses its food source, habitat, and interactions with other organisms. B. Equilibrium - Incorrect. Equilibrium refers to a state of balance within an ecosystem, not a specific aspect of an organism's niche. C. Interspecific competition - Incorrect. While interspecific competition (competition between different species) can influence an organism's niche, it is not a direct part of the niche itself. D. Genes - Incorrect. Genes are part of an organism's genetic makeup, not its ecological niche.

Summary: An organism's niche includes its food source, habitat, and interactions within the ecosystem. Therefore, the correct answer is A: Food source.

Circle the number next to any FALSE statements 1. It is important that scientists remain passive observers when conducting research. 2. External validity means the results of the study apply in the real world. 3. Situation sampling improves the external validity of a study. 4. Naturalistic observation records real world events without any intervention. 5. Participant observers may be open about their role as a researcher or undercover 6. Structured observations and field studies both create artificial situations that appear realistic. 7. Interobserver reliability indicates clear coding systems and good training for raters. 8. Demand characteristics occur when participants try to adjust their behavior to cultural norms. 9. Reactivity can be reduced through the process of habituation or desensitization. 10. Observer bias occurs when researchers falsify results to support their hypotheses.
