Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Biotic factors, such as drought, salinity affect the crops

The factors that mainly affect the production of the crop are temperature, moisture, humidity. The biotic factors like decomposers affect the crops by making and spreading diseases. External factors like climate, humidity, rainfall etc also affect crop production.

So, the correct option is 'Biotic factors, such as drought, salinity affects the crops'. because these are not biotic factors.
