b.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be c. The available space in an ecosystem is an abiotic limiting factor.

Ecosystem is defined as the interactions taking place between living organisms and their surrounding environment in a particular area.

It consists of two components:

Biotic component: It consists of all the living organisms (animals, plants, and microorganisms) present in that particular area.

Abiotic components: It consists of all the nonliving things present in the ecosystem. For example, air, water, soil, mountains, et cetera.

Hence, only statement c. "The available space in an ecosystem is an abiotic limiting factor" makes the correct statement.
