Abiotic factors are

• A. All living things
• B. All non living things
• C. The atmosphere and oceans only
• D. Interactions between species

Answer: (B)

Abiotic factors are the nonliving parts of an environment. These include things like temperature, sunlight, rainfall, wind, soil conditions, and chemical features of water. They shape where organisms can live and how they grow, survive, and reproduce, even though they aren’t made of living matter themselves. This is why the correct idea is that abiotic factors are all nonliving things. The atmosphere and oceans are indeed part of the nonliving environment, but abiotic factors aren’t limited to those; they include many other nonliving elements as well. Biotic factors, on the other hand, are the living parts of the environment and the interactions between species.
