Question

deer need food and water to survive. what are food and water for the deer population?
carrying capacity
limiting factors
population growth
scarce resources

Explanation:

Food and water are factors that limit the size of the deer population as they are essential for survival. If there is not enough of them, the deer population cannot grow or survive. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals an environment can support, population growth is the increase in number of individuals, and scarce resources implies limited availability but doesn't directly relate to the concept in this context as specifically as limiting factors.

Answer:

B. limiting factors
