Solution

The correct option is B Abiotic
An ecosystem is an interaction between organisms and their physical environment. Any ecosystem comprises two components which are biotic and abiotic. Abiotic factors are comprised of all non-living components of an ecosystem. Droughts are the abiotic factors which affect and interacts with the living components of the ecosystem. They act as climatic and abiotic factors which resist the growth of crops.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
