The correct answer is "Because it never lived ".
The reason why we consider water as abiotic because it never had life. We term a molecule/compound as biotic only when it is resulted from a living thing. Water has always existed in nature even when there was no life on this earth. So, it simply means that it didn't result from living beings. Water is considered as the non living part of the environment. Also, second option is partially correct because like begets like. But, the first living cell was also evolved from non living components of earth which is an exception to the second statement. So, the most appropriate answer to this question is option 4th "it never lived".
