Density-dependent limiting factors, such as competition for resources and disease, become more significant as population density increases, eventually limiting population growth and creating a logistic growth pattern. The other choices do not directly affect population growth in this way. Carrying capacity is the maximum population size an environment can support, immigration and emigration refer to the movement of individuals into or out of a population, and density-independent limiting factors, such as natural disasters, affect populations regardless of their density.
