The condition shown in the photograph of a dry, sandy landscape with one tree and dead branches is most likely caused by competition for water. In such environments, plants struggle to obtain sufficient water, leading to limited growth and survival of vegetation. Other options like overpopulation and deforestation could contribute to environmental degradation but are less directly related to the specific condition of having a dry landscape with minimal vegetation. High carbon dioxide levels also wouldn't primarily result in such a stark landscape scenario.
