D)a system exceeding positive or negative feedback limits.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Daisy World model involves both positive and negative feedbacks, but the system is designed to stay within certain limits in terms of temperature regulation. The daisies themselves act as a negative feedback, regulating the temperature by reflecting sunlight and keeping the planet cooler. When the temperature drops too low, the daisies will decrease and allow more sunlight to be absorbed, thereby increasing the temperature. This leads to a stable system where the temperature oscillates within a certain range. Therefore, choice C is the best option as the system stays within certain limits.
