The correct answer to this question is C - of the answers listed here for this question the factor that is most likely to be a limiting factor for growth on the floor of a tropical rainforest would be sunlight. Due to the density of the forest canopy there is not much sunlight that reaches the forest floor, so the plants that grow there have had to adapt accordingly.

The tropical rainforest is the moist biome which is present near the equator of the Earth. These rainforests receive an average of 60-160 inches of rainfall per year with no dry season throughout the year. In these forests, the canopy of the trees prevent the sunlight from reaching the floor of the forest. This makes it difficult for the vegetation to survive on the floor as sunlight is essential for the growth of the vegetation on the floor.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option - C - sunlight'.
