Final answer:
Diamond highlights several environmental attributes that limited food resources on Rapa Nui, including limited freshwater, porous volcanic soil, limited rainfall, windy climate, no coral reefs, and fewer fish species.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Diamond, the environmental attributes of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) that limited food resources included A. Limited freshwater, as primary fresh water resources such as precipitation are unevenly distributed, affecting fresh water availability. B. Porous volcanic soil and C. Limited rainfall, which are factors affecting agriculture and thus food resources. Additionally, the island faced D. Windy climate, which can impact soil erosion and plant growth. The absence of F. No coral reefs likely contributed to limited near-shore marine resources, and G. Fewer fish species would have decreased the variety of marine food sources available to the inhabitants. However, E. Hot climate is not specifically mentioned by Diamond as a limiting factor for food resources on Rapa Nui.
