Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of any given ecosystem is the maximum production that is achieved without environmental degradation. Now, since the production in option B and C is less than 500,000 tons (i.e carrying capacity of Grand Banks of Newfoundland), thus the rate of population growth would not be greatest and hence both option B and C are incorrect

Option D is also incorrect as production cannot be greater than carrying capacity or else environment will start degrading  

Hence, option A is correct

The tropopause is _____.
umka2103 [35]

Going upward from the surface, it is the point where air ceases to cool with height, and becomes almost completely dry. More formally, the tropopause is the region of the atmosphere where the environmental lapse rate changes from positive, as it behaves in the troposphere, to the stratospheric negative one. Following is the exact definition used by the World Meteorological Organization:

The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere, where an abrupt change in lapse rate usually occurs. It is defined as the lowest level at which the lapse rate decreases to 2 °C/km or less, provided that the average lapse rate between this level and all higher levels within 2 km does not exceed 2 °C/km.<span>[1] for example</span>
