Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

density independent

Step-by-step explanation:

In Ecology, density independent factors are limiting factors that do not depend on the size of a population to affect such population. Examples of density independent limiting factors are fire outbreak, earthquake and other natural disasters.

According to this question, since density independent factors influence a population irrespective of its density, it will affect a larger population than a smaller population. For example, a fire outbreak will likely burn a large part of the population, if not all.
