The limits-to-growth thesis is most closely linked to the ideas of Robert Thomas Malthus. So, the answer is C. Robert Thomas Malthus.

Here's why:

Malthus was an English scholar who developed a theory about the growth of population. He suggested that if left unchecked, a population will outgrow its resources, resulting in a decrease in population due to factors such as disease, starvation or war, until the resources are again sufficient to sustain the population. This is known as the Malthusian catastrophe, which is a central concept in the limits-to-growth thesis.
