Answer 1

Answer:

d. supply of the most limited resources.

Explanation:

the carrying capacity of a species in an environment is determined by the number of individual in an environment that the limited resources can sustain indefinitely without fighting for food, vegetation, water and light to sustained themselves.

the carrying capacity can be determined by how much the limited resources in the environment can sustain the species. the resources needed by species in a particular environment varies from habitat to habitat.

for some species, the limiting resources needed is food which consequently affect the way they reproduced and affect the population size.
