c. the variety of organisms
Available water and adequate shelter are direct limiting factors that strongly affect how many individuals can survive in a habitat. The total number of organisms describes the population itself. By contrast, the "variety of organisms" (biodiversity) has a more indirect effect on a single population's size.
