Answer 1

When population reaches it's maximum size and is in a steady state, it is said that the Carrying Capacity has been reached.

Explanation:

• Carrying capacity is defined as the maximum number of individuals of a population  an ecosystem can support without being stressed out.
• When a population reaches its carrying capacity it is in a stable state and can be easily  maintained by the available resources.
• But if carrying capacity is exceeded then it will create a shortage of resources and increase competition in the ecosystem.
