When Population growth past the ecosystem’s carrying capacity, then the population starts to die off to return to carrying capacity (Option B).

  • The carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of individuals of a population that can be supported by particular environmental conditions.

  • Carrying capacity depends on both biotic factors (e.g., presence of predators, food availability, etc.) and abiotic factors (e.g., water availability, living space, etc).

  • When a population passes its carrying capacity, then the environment becomes unsuitable for the individuals of that population to survive.

In conclusion, when population growth past the ecosystem’s carrying capacity, then the population starts to die off to return to carrying capacity (Option B).
