Answer:
D) energy from the sun, air, and water
Explanation:
Plants are producers because they undergo photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of taking sunlight, CO2, and water to produce ATP in the form of glucose and oxygen.
For plants to make their own food they require the reactants of photosynthesis. The reactants are sunlight+
. In other words, sunlight, carbon dioxide (air), and water. Without these reactants, photosynthesis cannot occur.
Things such as soil and fertilizer are helpful to a plant's growth; however, they are not required in the process that creates food for plants.

Mortality, or death rate is a measure of the number of deaths in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit of the time. In this case a factor that would result to an increased mortality rate in a population due to increased competition of water will be the density-dependent factor.
