Most density independent limiting factors are abiotic (nonliving). So, examples could be temperature, flood, pollution, earthquakes, etc. In your case, the answer would be C. The eruption of a volcano. 
Answer A is wrong because that is a description of competition between organisms, which is a biotic factor. 
Answer B is wrong because those are both biotic and density dependent factors.
Answer D is wrong because disease is potentially biotic, but primarily because parasitism is mentioned, which is interaction between two organisms. One benefitting, and one being "hurt" in some way.

Which type of limiting factor affects a large population more than it affects a small population?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

density independent

Explanation:

In Ecology, density independent factors are limiting factors that do not depend on the size of a population to affect such population. Examples of density independent limiting factors are fire outbreak, earthquake and other natural disasters.

According to this question, since density independent factors influence a population irrespective of its density, it will affect a larger population than a smaller population. For example, a fire outbreak will likely burn a large part of the population, if not all.
