Complete question:

a.) Decaying leaves are an abiotic factor because they are not living.

b.) Rocks are an abiotic factor because they have never been alive.

c.) Water in ponds is a biotic factor, because it provides a habitat for living things.

d.) Oxygen is a biotic factor, because it is required for life and found in all living things.

option b is correct: b.) Rocks are an abiotic factor because they have never been alive.

An environment's biology includes both non-living, abiotic factors like atmosphere, water, soil, sunlight and temperature; and biotic factors which are living components of the ecosystem like plants, fungi, bacteria and animals. These factors interact within a community, and lead to a gradual change of an ecosystem over time.

Further Explanation:

The rock, is an abiotic component, made up of minerals or mineralized components; it is incapable of the mechanisms of growth, respiration, locomotion, excretion or reproduction that characterize living things.

a.) Decaying leaves are an abiotic factor because they are not living.

  • decay of plant matter involves biotic decomposers such as bacteria and fungi capable of all

c.) Water in ponds is a biotic factor, because it provides a habitat for living things.

  • water, an abiotic factor, is a fluid comprised of molecules of dihydrogen monoxide

d.) Oxygen is a biotic factor, because it is required for life and found in all living things.

  • oxygen is an inorganic gas that makes up the atmosphere, thus it is abiotic
