Answer:

d. decreasing ratio of food to individuals in the population

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph represents the logistic population growth which slows down upon the arrival of carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is the maximum population size that can be supported by a habitat according to availability of resources. Once the population size reaches carrying capacity, food and other resources become limited and do not support any further growth of population.
