Question 2

Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between living organisms (including humans) and their physical environment. Option a (though the full option is cut off, likely related to living things and their environment) aligns with ecology's focus. Option b (rocks) is geology, c (weather) is meteorology, d (humans alone) is too narrow; ecology includes all living things and their environment.

Biotic factors in ecology are the living components of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, bacteria, etc. Abiotic factors are non - living (like rocks, climate). Option a is abiotic, c (dead) is not the definition of biotic (biotic is about being living, not just dead or alive), d (myth) is irrelevant. So biotic factors are living.

Answer:

a. How living things in (assuming the full option relates to their environment)
