Question

Explanation:

Biotic potential is defined as the maximum rate at which a population could grow under ideal conditions (unlimited resources, no predators, no diseases, etc.). The other options describe different concepts: factors causing population to stop growing are limiting factors; resistance to environmental factors is more about an organism's tolerance; impact of diseases is a specific limiting factor.

Answer:

the rate a population can grow under ideal conditions
