C is correct for number 2 because broadleaf trees are a biotic factor, while precipitation, or rainwater, is abiotic.

A is incorrect because both are biotic factors, since both are living

B is incorrect because both are abiotic factors, since both are nonliving

D is incorrect because both are biotic factors, since both are living
