Explanation:

Question 1

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "Anaerobic" relates to organisms or processes without oxygen, not non - living things.
• Option b: "Extrinsic" refers to external factors or qualities, not related to non - living things.
• Option c: "Intrinsic" refers to internal factors or qualities, not related to non - living things.
• Option d: "Abiotic" is defined as non - living components of an ecosystem, which matches the description of non - living things like rocks, soil, and the moon.

We analyze each option:

• Option a: A "Model" is a representation, not a summary based on evidence.
• Option b: A "Conclusion" is a summary or judgment based on evidence or facts, which matches the description.
• Option c: A "Hypothesis" is a proposed explanation, not a summary of facts.
• Option d: "Observation" is the act of noticing, not a summary.

The group in an experiment that is not exposed to the treatment is called the "Control Group". If the options (not fully shown) include "Control Group", that would be the answer. The control group is used for comparison with the experimental group to determine the effect of the treatment.

Answer:

d. Abiotic
