The correct answer is "habitat."
To determine the answer, you can break down the question by understanding the given options.
- A "biotic factor" refers to a living component of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, and other organisms. It does not fit the definition of the entire place where an organism lives and has its needs met.
- A "habitat" is a specific place or environment in which an organism lives and can find all the necessary resources to survive, such as food, water, shelter, and suitable conditions.
- An "abiotic factor" refers to non-living components of an ecosystem, such as temperature, sunlight, soil, water, and air. While these factors influence the habitat, they are not the same as the habitat itself.
- "Prey" refers to an organism that is hunted and consumed by another organism. It does not encompass the entire living environment where an organism lives and meets its needs.
Therefore, the most appropriate answer is "habitat," as it encompasses all the necessary components required for an organism's survival and well-being.
