What does the environment include?
A) Biotic abiotic factors
B) Animals and plants
C) Microorganisms
D) Non-living things

Hint:Environment refers to a sum total of all the living and nonliving elements and their effects that influence human life. It plays an essential role in the existence of life on Earth.

Complete answer:
The environment is made up of two components, namely biotic and abiotic. Biotic components involve all the living things in an ecosystem such as plants, animals, bacteria, fungi. Abiotic components include all the nonliving things of an ecosystem such as sunlight, temperature, atmospheric gases, air, water, soil

These two factors are the two essential factors responsible for shaping the ecosystem.

Biotic factors comprise living things in the ecosystem. It refers to all living organisms including humans, plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria. It also affects the composition of an ecosystem.
Abiotic factors comprise all the non-living, i.e. chemical and physical factors present in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere (mountains, rivers, land, air, cloud, dust, etc).

Both abiotic and biotic resources affect the survival and reproduction process. The biotic factors are necessary for the reproduction of each species as it fulfils essential requirements like food, etc. Abiotic factors also play a significant impact on the survival and reproduction of species in an ecosystem.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A) Biotic abiotic factors.

Note: It is to be noted that biogeography is the study of the geographic distribution of living things and the abiotic factors that affect their distribution. The environment is also impacted by human activities which can directly cause natural disasters like climate change, deforestation, global warming, etc.
