Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "forests, ponds and lakes are natural ecosystems while gardens and crop-fields are humanmade (artificial) ecosystems." Option C is the only pair that matches a natural ecosystem (lake) with an artificial one (garden). Watch out for distractors like Option A (forests are natural, but ponds are also natural — not artificial).
