Answer:

The correct answer is "density-dependent factor"

Explanation:

Density-dependent factors are effects which impact varies depending on the size of the affected population. In this case, the outbreak of typhoid fever in Ithaca affected 1,000 residents because all of them share the public water source. This was a density-dependent factor because if the population of Ithaca were greater, probably all of them would not share the public water source and the impact of the outbreak would be not as large as it was.
