Answer 1

D. This is because in ecosystems, a limiting factor refers to a factor that regulates the growth of populations usually by limiting it, this includes natural disasters, predators, competition, among others. In the case of drought, this occurs as there is low or no rainfall and as a consequence, there is a shortage of water, plants and even animals that depend on rain or the resource supply for other organisms which represents an important limiting factor as with no or few resources populations cannot thrive. Thus, the limiting factor affected by drought is the resource supply.
