Why is there a natural limit to human population growth? a. humans cannot impact limiting factors, so population growth must be limited. b.human population growth is limited solely by human activity, such as war. c.humans can reduce the effect of certain limiting factors in the short term, but in the long term resource limitations will impact human population growth. d.there is a natural limit to population growth, because human reproduction occurs at a very slow rate.

c. Humans can reduce the effect of certain limiting factors in the short term, but in the long term resource limitations will impact human population growth

Explanation:

The human population is limited by what is known as population-limiting factors. These factors include biotic and abiotic factors. While some of the factors are density-dependent, some others are density-independent.

Examples of density dependent population limiting factors include food availability, predation, migration etc. while examples of density independent limiting factors include fire outbreaks, natural disasters and pollution effects.

While the effects of some of the limiting factors can be reduced in the short term, the limited resources in the environment will eventually impacts human population when it grows to a certain extent.

The maximum number of individuals an environment can support based on the resources it has is known as the carrying capacity.

The correct option is c.
