Solution

A niche is a place. But in ecological terms, it means the manner in which an organism responds to its environment. It includes the way in which an organism survives, the manner in which it can t feeds itself, obtains shelter and it's overall behavior. For example, a rabbit alters soil fertility by digging burrows, adding feces to it and it is eaten away by beetles, dogs, cats, etc. It is a herbivorous animal as it lives in grasslands and feeds on grasslands.
So, option C is the correct answer.
