Detailed explanation-1: -A limiting factor of a population wherein large, dense populations are more strongly affected than small, less crowded ones. Examples of this type of factor: food and water supply – large population would require for a higher supply of food and water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is Flooding.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, we define density-dependent limiting factors as factors that affect the per capita growth rate of a population differently depending on how dense the population already is. Most density-dependent factors make the per capita growth rate go down as the population increases.
Detailed explanation-4: -Limiting factors fall into two broad categories: density-dependent factors and density-independent factors. These names mean just what they say: Density-independent factors have an impact on the population, whether the population is large or small, growing or shrinking.
