Question

In what instance would population stabilize? A) when a natural disaster occurs B) when a prey species increases its population C) when carrying capacity is reached D) when a predator species is eliminated

Answer 1

Answer: c) when carrying capacity is reached

Explanation: carrying capacity is the total amount of organisms that can comfortably be sustained in an environment without depletion of resources. Once this has been reached and no other organisms can be accommodated in the environment, all of the populations within that environment level out, or stabilize. Hope this helps!!
