A
density-dependent
B
birth rate
C
limiting factors
D
population density

Population density is the number of individuals in a population per unit of area. Here, the forest has 200 deer in each square kilometer, so the term is population density. Density-dependent describes factors whose effects change with population size, not the number of deer per area.
