The correct answer is:
A. Limiting factors
Carrying capacity is influenced by a variety of limiting factors, which can be both biotic (such as the availability of food, predation, and competition) and abiotic (such as water, temperature, and habitat space). These factors determine the maximum population size that an ecosystem can sustainably support.
