Of the following species, which is most likely to exhibit a stable limit cycle or dampened oscillations?

Question

A species whose only food resources for juveniles are limited and juvenile food availability affects adult fecundity and survival is most likely to exhibit oscillations or limit cycles. This is because the population growth of this species is likely to be constrained by the availability of juvenile food resources, which in turn affects adult fecundity and survival. Therefore, as the population grows, competition for juvenile food resources increases, leading to a decrease in juvenile survival and ultimately a decrease in adult fecundity and survival. This negative feedback loop can lead to oscillations or limit cycles in population size. The other choices do not provide clear indications of whether the species is likely to exhibit oscillations or limit cycles.
