The correct answers are:
All of the following are biotic factors that would affect the ecosystem described, except D. fir trees. Fir trees are not mentioned as part of the pond's inhabitants or visitors, so they would not directly affect the animals and plants in the pond.
All of the following are abiotic factors that would affect the ecosystem described, except D. water snakes. Water snakes are living organisms and therefore belong to the biotic factors category. Temperature, rainfall, and soil type are all non-living or physical factors that can influence the survival and behavior of the organisms in the pond.
