Question

which scenario shows abiotic factors working against biotic potential? a species reproducing during an intense drought a species living in mild, stable temperatures a species benefiting from seasonal rainfall a species growing in nutrient - rich soil

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are non - living components of an ecosystem. Biotic potential is the maximum reproductive capacity of a species. An intense drought (an abiotic factor) would limit resources like water, making it difficult for a species to reproduce effectively, thus working against biotic potential. Mild stable temperatures, seasonal rainfall (which can provide water for growth and reproduction), and nutrient - rich soil are all abiotic factors that can support or enhance a species' ability to reach its biotic potential.

Answer:

a species reproducing during an intense drought
