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

Answer:

C. Sprout every year, year after year

Explanation:

The perennial plants are the plants that live for more then two years, thous some may argue that they are plants that live more then three years. Whichever the case, they are not short-lived plants, but are capable of surviving for numerous years, unlike the annuals and biennials. Theoretically, the shrubs and trees would fall into this category, but they are classified separately, and this term is not used for them, but for smaller plants that do not have or have very little woody parts. These plants tend to sprout every year, and even though they seemingly die in the autumn, their roots are alive, and they emerge and grow again in the spring, sprouting again. That process repeats itself for numerous years.
