Based on the given P:B (Net Primary Production:Biomass) ratios, the ecosystems can be matched as follows:

A - Grassland: The P:B ratio of 0.29 suggests a moderate productivity relative to biomass in a grassland ecosystem.

B - Tropical forest: The low P:B ratio of 0.042 suggests a relatively low productivity compared to biomass in a tropical forest ecosystem.

C - Ocean: The high P:B ratio of 16.48 indicates a high productivity relative to biomass in an ocean ecosystem.

D - Lake: The P:B ratio of 8.2 suggests a high productivity compared to biomass in a lake ecosystem.

Therefore, the correct matching is A - Grassland, B - Tropical forest, C - Ocean, D - Lake. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
