Answer 2

food and land

Step-by-step explanation:

A limiting factor is the one that limits the growth of any organism’s population. Here the population growth of an organism is limited by both availability of food and land. As the population grows, the food availability gets limited and hence most of the organism die.

But when the population reduces, the food quantity becomes surplus and thus the organisms survive.
