A — living space for shelter.
Explanation: the scenario says food is plentiful, so food isn't limiting. The rising death rate as population grows points to competition for shelter/space (overcrowding), which increases mortality (disease, exposure, fights). Mating partners would limit births, and predators aren't mentioned.
