"Rocks are an abiotic factor because they have never been alive." is the best statement.
Brief why: Abiotic factors are nonliving physical or chemical parts of an environment (rock, water, sunlight, soil). Decaying leaves are considered biotic (once-living organic matter), water and oxygen are abiotic (nonliving), so options A, C, and D are incorrect.
