Question

All of the following are forms of density-independent population control EXCEPT

a
habitat destruction.
b
flood destruction.
c
pollution.
d
competition.

Answer 1

The correct answer is **d - competition**.

Competition is a form of density-dependent population control, as it affects the population based on the density of individuals in a given area. Density-independent factors, such as habitat destruction, flood destruction, and pollution, affect populations regardless of their density.
