Answer 1

Abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems. Among the options provided, the abiotic factors are "sunlight" and "water."

The basic needs that living things typically compete for include:

1. **Sunlight** - Essential for photosynthesis in plants and some bacteria.
2. **Water** - Crucial for all living organisms for hydration and metabolic processes.

So out of your options, "sunlight and water" is the correct answer as they are both abiotic factors and basic needs that living things compete for.
