Answer: c. Leibig's Law

Explanation:

The Liebig law of minimum states that growth is measured not by determining the available resources but the with resources which are limited or scarce. This law is applicable to ecosystem models and biological population for comparing the growth in scarcity of resources such as mineral nutrients and sunlight. This law was proposed by Carl Sprengel (1828).
