A biotic factor that affects the size of a population in a specific ecosystem is: c. number and kinds of predators in the ecosystem.

An ecosystem can be defined as a biological community that comprises all living organisms (biotic factors) and the physical environment (abiotic factors) with which they interact.

Basically, some of the essential services that are provided by an ecosystem for the sustenance of life include;

  • Nutrient cycling
  • Water purification
  • Plant pollination

A biotic factor refers to the living organisms that are existing within an ecosystem and their effect on the population living within it. Thus, the number and kinds of predators living in an ecosystem is a biotic factor that would affect the size of its population.

In conclusion, all the other answer options are abiotic factors.
