The answer is logistic growth.
It is modeled by an S-shaped curve. Carrying capacity (K) is the maximum individuals of a population that a habitat can sustain indefinitely
given the limited resources in the environment. Before this number
is achieved, the population grows exponentially and slows as it gets close. When
the K number is reached, the stationary phase enters.
Because water helps plants grow
I would go with c because its tells you right in there that the ecosystem help who lives around that area.
