Answer 1

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe the correct answer would be a) Population will grow in the first few years but will level off as food and spaces become limiting factors.

With the absence of a predator the carp will keep breeding and breeding and breeding, which would cause a population spike. However, there is only a limited amount of resources in the pond that the carp can use. There would not be enough food for everyone and only the best of the best will be able to survive.

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3
