Question

available food, water, or space; disease; the predator population: these are examples of what type of limiting factor? density - independent density - dependent

Explanation:

Density - dependent limiting factors are influenced by population density. Available food, water, space, disease, and predator population all have a greater impact as population density increases. For example, when population density is high, competition for food (a density - dependent factor) intensifies. Disease can spread more easily in a dense population. Predators are more likely to find prey in a dense population. In contrast, density - independent factors (like natural disasters) affect populations regardless of density.

Answer:

B. Density - dependent
