Question

Which most likely happen to the population of deer in 1963

A. The population increased its death rate.
B. The population exceeded past carrying capacity.
C. The population crashes down to 0.
D. The population steadily increased to get closer to carrying capacity.

Answer 1

The population steadily increased to get closer to carrying capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. The population steadily increased to get closer to carrying capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carrying capacity is the maximum capacity of an environment to support a population of species. Carrying capacity denotes the highest population size of a species in an environment and population beyond this carrying capacity cannot be supported by any ecosystem because of the limiting of resources, area and increasing competition due to overgrowing population.

In this graph, the population is increasing steadily to get closer to carrying capacity and once it reaches the carrying capacity the rise in population will stop and then the graph will look like logistic growth graph.

So, the correct answer is D. The population steadily increased to get closer to carrying capacity.
