How are biotic factors different from abiotic factors in an environment?

A.

Biotic factors do not require water; abiotic do.

B.

Biotic factors are living; abiotic are not.

C.

Biotic factors are found everywhere; abiotic are not.

D.

Biotic factors are animals; abiotic are plants.

B

Explanation:

Biotic factors are alive. Some examples include plants, animals and fungi.

The "a" in front of abiotic will negate the meaning of the word. Therefore, abiotic means not living. Some examples are rocks, water and air.

So, we know that biotic factors are living, and abiotic factors are not living. Therefore, B is correct.
