Answer:

Option A, An area of a desert can support a population of 320 cactus plants

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum number of organism that can live with in it thereby utilizing its resources and doesn't cause any harm to the ecosystem.

Here in the given options, Option C and D are irrelevant as they do not talk any thing about the ecosystem's carrying capacity.

In Option B, it is said that 1500 bird species currently live in tropical rain forest, but there might be a case where forest has enough resources to allow more birds over and above the current 1500. Thus 1500, is just the present population of bird in the forest and not its carrying capacity

How does natural selection “drive” evolution?
yanalaym [24]

Because predators and prey must learn (or adapt) new ways of survival. Deer over time have learned to be much more sensitive to the surrounding environment, therefore, a deer's predator must also adapt/evolve and learn how to beat the deer at it's own game and catch it for food. Animals must evolve/adapt to any given environment. If humans lived in Antarctica for thousands of years, we would eventually be able to withstand the cold due to evolution. People who live in the Himalayas today actually breath normally at such high altitudes whereas if someone who lives at sea level went to where the Himalayan people lived, the result could potentiality be fatal because the body has not adapted/evolved at that point to withstand minimal oxygen.

A population of mammals leaves an ecosystem because of increased temperatures and decreased rainfall. what’s the reason for this
Serga [27]

The reason for the shift of mammals from the ecosystem due to increased temperatures and decreased rainfall is the change in the abiotic factors of that region.

Ecosystem is defined as how the living species of an area interact within themselves as well as the with the abiotic factors of the region.

Abiotic factors are the non-living things present in an area. These are the soil, mountains, temperature, sun, water, etc. The livelihood of a species in an area is influenced by both the living as well as the non-living factors. For example, if an organism can survive only in high rainfall then low amount of rainfall will be unfavorable condition for it to survive and grow efficiently.
