The correct answer is D. competition from other animals.

In any ecosystem, living organisms grow in a geometric progression and resources are grown in an arithmetic progression. Hence, resources such as food and space become limited. Short supply of resource cause competition for food, space among organisms. Competition may be interspecific or intraspecific. In interspecific competition for food and space among the individuals of different species. in intraspecific, competition among the individuals of same species. Therefore, to limit the size of a raccoon population, the living factor is the competition. Forest fire , a very cold winter and the availability of water are non-living or abiotic factors.

Schools are being forced to embrace computers. unlike their "digital immigrant" teachers, these students are "digital natives", born into a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life. almost every student has access to a multitude of computers, laptops and tablet devices. it would be crazy to assume an assignment would notbe written on computer in this day and age.many schools now have a 1-to-1 computer policy, and many districts and states in the united states have mandated computers or ipads across the state for every student, including los angeles, the second largest school district in the country.but the thing is, when they tried it in la, it wasn't the success they hoped for. that's because the tablets weren't used as much as they expected. rather, it appeared there was a gap between the digital native's love of technology and their use of it in the classroom.this conflicted relationship with computers is also underscored by much of the literature on education. it is also highlighted in professional development and conferences such as edutech.
