It would be the fossils amount of mineral acidity im pretty sure!
Answer/Explanation:
Density-dependent limiting factors are non living and biotic factors that affect the size and growth of a population based on the population density, while density-independent limiting factors are those factors that do not depend on the density of a population before they can have an effect on the growth and size of the population.
Examples of density-dependent limiting factors are predation, disease, Parasitism, competition. These rely on the density of a population in order to affect the growth and size of a population.
On the other hand, examples of density-independent limiting factors are pollution, flood, temperature.
Power is the rate at which work is done.

The answer is; D
It reduces the diversity of the population because some variations in the population can be completely eliminated by the bottleneck effect. Even if the population recovers in population size, the genetic variation will have reduced as compared to the initial population before the bottleneck. For a mall population, this effect can be grave because the reduced genetic variation may mean that the population may be unable to adapt to new selection pressures hence may go extinct.
