Since you provided no choosable options, i will just give some examples :

K increase :
- main competitor for food is eliminated, increasing food availability
- an abandoned building increasing nest area

K Decrease :
- Wetlands drained, decreasing water supply
- Parking lot built, shrinking habitat
- There's a new species that require the same food

K not affected
- Offspring live longer
