The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.
EXPLANATION :
Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.
The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.
The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -
Potential energy P.E = mgh
Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
h stands for the height of the body from the ground.
We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.
Hence, weight W = mg
Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.
Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.
A. The water
Biotic factors mean living this such as frogs, grasshoppers, snakes, etc.
Aboriginal factors means non-living such as water, temperature, sunlight, etc.
Abiotic factors are the non-living parts of the environment that have a major influence on living organisms which makes water an abiotic factor.
