- D. A factor that only affects animals
Answer
The correct option is A non-living environmental factor that can affect a community. This answer is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to explain how a change in an abiotic factor would affect a given community using data or context in the subtopic Abiotic factors.
Explanation
The correct option is A non-living environmental factor that can affect a community. A non-living environmental factor that can affect a community is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to explain how a change in an abiotic factor would affect a given community using data or context. This belongs to the subtopic Abiotic factors within Adaptations, interdependence and competition, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from Abiotic factors.
