Which of the following factors would be least likely to act as a density dependent limiting factor in a population of
mice?
Buildup of waste products
Predation
Parasitism
Unfavourable climate

Explanation

An unfavorable climate is generally considered a density-independent limiting factor, not a density-dependent one, meaning its effects on a population are not related to the population's density or size.
