Coyotes cross the winter pack ice and enter Newfoundland. The moose population starts to decline.
A
Density-Dependent:Competition
B
Density-Independent:Competition
C
Density-Dependent:Predator-Prey
D
Density-Independent:Predator-Prey
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reports of coyotes traveling on ice between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland have been received from reputable sources since 1985, supporting the notion that the emigration of coyotes from mainland Canada onto the Island continues. Animals crossing an ice bridge is not a rare occurrence.

Detailed explanation-2: -The predator–prey relationship is an example of a density-dependent limiting factor. A density-dependent limiting factor affects the population density (number of organisms per a given area) when it reaches a certain level. Other examples of density-dependent limiting factors are competition, parasitism, and disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -Predator-Prey Relationships The effects of predators on prey and of prey on predators are both very important density dependent population controls. Each populations change in size is driven by the size of the other population.

Detailed explanation-4: -Density-dependent factors include disease, competition, and predation.
