Adaptation: inherited characteristics of a species that develops over time in response to an environmental factor that enables the species to survive
Explanation:
D) Mowing maintains a low species diversity by inhibiting succession.
Mowing reduces the chances of growth of a new species within the community that may add to its complexity.
Succession involves small scale changes within a community that occur repeatedly over the life of that community. Ecological communities are highly dynamic- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:
- colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
- becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community
- there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)
Further Explanation:
The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a climax community. While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.
However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.

Depends, if the biotic factor is a chipmunk or something of that case, its natural habitat is a rock, which is biotic. but...if the animal is something like a deer they don't need abiotic factors. its your chose to chose but I'm leaning more twords false because not ALL biotic factors cant go without an abiotic factor
<span>Water heats up, changes to water vapor and evaporates, rises into the sky. It cools, condenses, turns back into liquid water forming clouds. Then it falls back to earth as precipitation and runs down hills or mountains during runoff and returns to lakes and oceans.
I think i`m not sure :)</span>
