Based on the information above, what is the best explanation for the different variety of organisms in the two microhabitats?

A
The rotting log and grassy area are in different biomes.
B
The conditions for survival are different in each location.
C
The rotting log has predators while the grassy area does not.
D
There is more space in the rotting log than in the grassy area.

B

The conditions for survival are different in each location.

The rotting log provides a dark, cool, and damp environment suitable for termites, beetles, crickets, and spiders. In contrast, the grassy area along the curb is sunny, warm, and dry, making it a better habitat for grass, flowers, clovers, and grasshoppers. The different variety of organisms in each microhabitat is due to the specific conditions that support their survival.
