Answer 2

The answer should be: D) water supply

Water is a perishable resource and its supply will limit how much population that an area could hold. With a bigger population, the competition for water will be higher which make water shortage more likely. Others density-dependent limiting factor than competition would be disease, parasitism, and predation.
