Answer:

125

Explanation:

The correct option would be 125.

<em>The carrying capacity of a particular environment generally refers to the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that the environment can support at a particular time based on the resources it has. Hence, the maximum population of a species will normally oscillate around the carrying capacity of the environment where it is found. </em>

In the case of the elephants in the illustration, the maximum population recorded was 125. The population decreased from this value at some point only to increased back to it later.

<u>Hence, the carrying capacity for the elephant is 125.</u>
