question 25 of 25
which is a density - independent factor in controlling a population?
a. volcanic eruptions
b. predators
c. shelter
d. access to water

Explanation:

Density - independent factors affect population size regardless of population density. Volcanic eruptions are natural disasters that impact populations without being influenced by population density. Predators (B), shelter (C), and access to water (D) are density - dependent factors as their impact often depends on population density. For example, more predators may target a denser population, and competition for shelter and water is more intense in denser populations.

Answer:

A. Volcanic eruptions
