carrying capacity
limiting factors
population growth
scarce resources

Explanation:

Limiting factors are environmental conditions that restrict the growth, abundance, or distribution of an organism or a population of organisms in an ecosystem. Food and water are essential for deer survival and can limit the size of the deer population, so they are limiting factors. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of organisms an environment can support. Population growth refers to an increase in the number of individuals in a population. Scarce resources are resources in short - supply, but the key concept here is their role as factors that limit population, which is best described by limiting factors.

Answer:

B. limiting factors
