multiple choice question
which is anything that restricts the size of a population?

○ endangered species

• "Endangered species" refers to species at risk of extinction, not a population - restricting factor.
• "Limiting factor" is defined as something that restricts a population's size (e.g., food, space).
• "Carrying capacity" is the maximum population an environment can support, not the restrictor.
• "Biotic potential" is a population's growth capacity, not a restrictor.
