Answer: Option A (Density-independent factor)

Explanation:

Density-independent factor is a population regulation factor that affect or influence the size of a population without considering the population density. Climate and weather are the main density-independent factors in nature.

Their effects increment is directly proportional to the increase in population size. These factors are environmental agents that checkmate the size of a population without putting the reproductive and behavioral patterns of the organisms into consideration.
