Which of the following is an abiotic factor?

  1. Dissolved oxygen levels

  2. Immigration

  3. Precipitation

  4. Temperature

The correct answer is: Temperature

An abiotic factor is one that is non-living and has an impact on the living organisms in an environment. Dissolved oxygen levels, while important for living things, are not abiotic factors as they are produced and consumed by living organisms. Immigration is a process involving living things, so it is not an abiotic factor. Precipitation, while essential for life, is also not an abiotic factor as it is a natural process caused by living and non-living factors. Temperature, on the other hand, is an example of an abiotic factor as it affects the growth, reproduction, and survival of living organisms in an environment.
