Answer 1

Area A has more food resources than area B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carrying capacity refers to the maximum population size that a habitat can support as per its available resources such as food, space etc. According to the given graph, the carrying capacity of area "A" is higher than that of area "B" since area "A" supports larger population size of salmon than area B. The higher carrying capacity of area A could be due to presence of more food resources in the region to support the larger population size.
