decrease the growth of populations.
increase the growth of populations.
rewatch

Explanation:

Limiting factors are elements in an ecosystem that restrict population growth. They can be biotic (like competition for food) or abiotic (such as lack of water). By acting as constraints, they prevent populations from growing indefinitely. For example, if there is not enough food (a limiting factor), the number of organisms that can survive and reproduce in a population will be reduced, thus decreasing population growth.

Answer:

Decrease the growth of populations.
