Question 9 • Earth and Space A 26-27

Which statement describes a biotic factor interacting with the environment?

Answer
A
Water flows down a creek bed.
B
Soil contains nutrients for growth.
C
Deer graze through the grassland.
D
The sun emits solar rays that reach Earth.

Explanation

A biotic factor is a living thing. Deer are living organisms, and grazing shows them interacting with their environment by eating grass. Water, soil, and sunlight are nonliving factors, so the other choices do not describe a biotic factor.
