Question

multiple choice 1 point what is a common response that populations often display when a density - independent limiting factor affects them? a sharp increase in population (such as an algal bloom) a population crash the population stays steady despite the limiting factor regular population fluctuations

Explanation:

Density - independent limiting factors like natural disasters or extreme weather can severely impact populations, often leading to a significant decrease in numbers, which is a population crash. They don't cause sharp increases as they are not beneficial factors, and populations don't usually stay steady or have regular fluctuations in response to such severe non - density related impacts.

Answer:

B. a population crash
