An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.
In biology, the biotic factors pertain to the living components of Earth while the abiotic factors are those non-living chemicals and physical factors. The only choice that is not an interaction between biotic and abiotic factors is the third choice, "C. male elk fighting over a female".

Answer:
The activity that does not represent a beneficial contribution made by biologists is to improve the durability of non-stick coatings (option C).
Explanation:
The development and improvement of non-stick coatings does not correspond to an activity within the field of biology. Anti-stick coatings, such as Teflon, are products developed through industrial activity.
Biologists' activity is focused on living organisms and their interaction with the surrounding environment. Improving arable soils and food quality, as well as increasing life expectancy are activities that fall within the field of study of biology and its related disciplines.
