I believe it’s, HD space, bandwidth and CPU time.
You earn by retrieving chunks and the fastest to return (slowest element is network lag) the chunk gets an opportunity to get a coin. A coin is given on average 1 in 1/(farming rate) retrievals done. Thats it.
So the amount of HD spce, bandwidth and CPU time are only some of the factors in delivering the chunks. Other factors are the actual chunks you are given to store, lag time due to distance in XOR space from you to the requester, node age and some more

That makes sense, Thanks.
