Answer:

D). Choice 2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the options above, the limiting factors are both the "Amount of water in the lake" and the "Temperature of the lake"

This is because the amount of water in the lake can only carry as much of the number of fishes as possible it can contain or sustain. This implies that the higher the water content in the lake the higher the number of fishes it can contain and vice versa.

Also, the temperature of the lake is a limiting factor because the temperature of the lake supports the light penetration to the fishes in the water. Should the temperature increases beyond the highest level the water can support, the fishes will die.
