The correct answer is 2.
An ecotone is a transition area between two biomes. It is where two communities meet and integrate. It may be narrow or wide, and it may be local (the zone between a field and forest) or regional (the transition between forest and grassland ecosystems). An ecotone may appear on the ground as a gradual blending of the two communities across a broad area, or it may manifest itself as a sharp boundary line.

Ecotone is the transitional zone between two different ecological habitats containing different communities. An ecotone can be regional or local. The transitional zone between forest and grassland ecosystems is an example of the regional ecotone. The transitional zone between a field and forest ecosystem is an example of the local ecotone.
