Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A.Carrying capacity will increase B.Carrying capacity will decrease C.Carrying capacity will remain unchanged. The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ecologists define 'carrying capacity' as the population of a certain species that a defined habitat can support indefinitely, without permanently damaging the ecosystem on which they are dependent,that is, the ecological carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum growth limit of a biological population that the environment can support in a given period, without negative effects on that population or on the environment.
