Answer:
Light intensity. Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature.
hmmIncreasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply.

Even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and the temperature is right, a plant can't photosynthesise very quickly if there isn't enough light.
When the light intensity is increased, the rate of photosynthesis increases until another element, a limiting factor, becomes scarce.
Photosynthesis is hindered and then suppressed at very high light intensities, however, these illumination intensities do not exist in nature.
