Answer:
Most likely B
Explanation:
A - Carrying capacity is the amount of a species that can live in a given area with the given resources, weather does not apply.
B - Limiting factors are things such as food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources, which can limit the maximum population. Temperature can be applied here, it is the best option.
C - Climax community is when an area's ecosystem is stable, so the term makes no sense used here.
D - To be honest I have no clue what this is. But making an assumption from the term, the winter being "unusually cold" does not make it a "pattern". So I don't think it's this option. I could be wrong, but I assume this is not the right choice.
