ability to survive. Which of the following would be
considered a factor for environmental resistance?
high number of predators
low rates of disease
favorable habitat availability
abundance of food

Answer:

The factor for environmental resistance among the options provided is: high number of predators.

Explanation:

Environmental resistance refers to the factors in an environment that limit the growth, reproduction, and survival of a population. In this case, a high number of predators would increase the pressure on the population, making it more difficult for individuals to survive and reproduce. Therefore, a high number of predators acts as a factor of environmental resistance.

The other options—low rates of disease, favorable habitat availability, and abundance of food—may contribute to the population's ability to survive by reducing factors of environmental resistance.
