The correct option is A. "carrying capacity". Carrying capacity refers to the amount of individuals that an ecosystem is able to sustain. If we keep growing without control, soon we will run out resources and our numbers will start to decrease abruptly. Therefore it is critical to slow our actual population increase rate.
