Which is an example of a biotic characteristic of climate regions?

• A. Humans, animals, plants, fungi
• B. Temperature
• C. Wind
• D. Rainfall

Answer: (A)

Biotic characteristics are the living parts of an environment. Humans, animals, plants, and fungi are living organisms that inhabit climate regions and interact with each other and their surroundings, shaping ecosystems. That living presence exemplifies biotic factors. In contrast, temperature, wind, and rainfall describe non-living aspects of the climate system—abiotic factors that influence climate patterns but are not living themselves. So the example that best fits a biotic characteristic is the living organisms listed.
