Step-by-step explanation:

Environmental factors (specifically ones that relate to the physical environment) are going to be your density-independent factors, whereas factors that have to do with the population size are density-dependent factors, as implied by the title. But anyway...

Parasitism is a density-dependent factor. As a population increases in size, the chance of it occurring and wreaking havoc only increases.

Available sunlight has nothing to do with the density of a population. It is therefore density-independent.

Climate change is also density-independent.

The same is for fire.

Pollution is density-dependent because as the population increases, it contributes more pollution collectively and hence limiting the population size.

Cheers.

Answer:

parasitism (density dependent)

available sunlight (density independent)

Climate change (density independent)

Fire (density independent)

Pollution (density dependent)

Step-by-step explanation:

Density-independent factors, such as weather and climate, exert their influences on population size regardless of the population's density.

Density-independent factors affect per capita growth rate independent of population density. Examples include natural disasters like forest fires.

Density-independent regulation and interaction with density-dependent factors. Many factors, typically physical or chemical in nature (abiotic), influence the mortality of a population regardless of its density.
