Seagrasses are flowering plants which grow in the photic zones of marine environments. Which factor would be abiotic limiting factor for seagrass growth?

A) water temperature

B) amount of available sunlight

C) density of the animal population Eliminate

D) concentration of dissolved nutrients

C) Density of the animal population Animal population is the only biotic or living factor. Grazing by herbivores, like sea turtles, will affect seagrass populations. Too many herbivores, not enough segrass.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The seagrasses refer to the photosynthesizing plants, which thrive in the photic zone and they are anchored by the sand or mud as they can get developed in the submerged condition. The majority of these species go through pollination and undergo their life cycle underneath water.  

The biotic limiting factor can be illustrated as the factor that restricts the growth and abundance of the population of the species. This limiting factor refers to the biological agent like the animal, plant, or insect. In the given question, the density of the animal population would be the appropriate option.
