Solution
The correct option is C Law of minimum
Law of minimum is popularly known as Leibig's law of minimum. According to this law the growth is controlled not by the total amount of resources available, but by the scarcest resource (called as limiting factor). It has wide ranging applications and one application is ecology. In ecological studies the character of an ecosystem is determined by the environmental factor, which is shortest in supply. For example, type of forest will be decided not by light or soil but by water availability. If water is present in less amount, no matter how abundant is the supply of other resources, only thorny or scrub forests will develop.So, the correct answer is 'Law of minimum'
