Explanation:

High temperatures, low - precipitation, sparse vegetation and little food are factors that restrict the survival and growth of species in the desert, which are limiting factors. Tolerance refers to how well species can handle changes, carrying capacity is about the maximum number of species an environment can support, and the statement includes biotic (sparse vegetation, little food) and abiotic (high temperatures, low - precipitation) factors.

Answer:

A. the limiting factors that species face in the desert.
