a. biotic factors, such as plant and animal life
b. abiotic factors, such as climate and soil
c. precise lines of latitude and longitude
d. levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Biomes are large - scale ecosystems. They are characterized by biotic factors (living organisms like plants and animals) and abiotic factors (non - living elements like climate and soil). Latitude and longitude do not precisely define biomes, and while greenhouse gas levels can affect the environment, they are not primary factors in characterizing biomes.

Answer:

A. biotic factors, such as plant and animal life
B. abiotic factors, such as climate and soil
