Answer:
The correct answer is - control density-dependent limiting factor.
Explanation:
Density-dependent factors are the factors that show various effects on the population size and growth based on the density of the population and effects vary with different density of population.
These factors are generally biotic such as competition for food and space and many other factors. Food processing involves the processes that help food to be edible for a longer period.
Availability of food depends on the density of the population which makes it is a density-dependent factor, processing is advantageous as if it maintains the food for a longer time or gives control over the density-dependent factor.
