"Organisms are both influenced by the environment through biotic and abiotic characteristics and can change those characteristics through their own processes" is a true statement about the relationship between organisms and the environment. Option B is the correct statement.
Both abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) factors influence organisms.
Abiotic factors like temperature, water, and sunlight affect their growth, reproduction, and survival.
Biotic factors like competition, predation, and symbiosis shape their interactions and population dynamics.
Organisms also impact the environment. Trees influence wind patterns and soil composition, while animals can graze, pollinate, and disperse seeds.
Therefore, organisms are intertwined with their environment, influencing and being influenced by both biotic and abiotic components.
Option B is the correct statement.
