Answer: Bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Abiotic factors of an ecosystem mean all the non-living components present in an ecosystem.
  • The living components of an ecosystem are known as biotic factors.
  • An interaction between these two factors is responsible for constituting a particular ecosystem.
  • Among the given options, since bacteria is a living component it cannot be considered as an abiotic factor.
