Question

select the correct location on the image.
identify the position on the graph that gives the carrying capacity of the population.
graph with population (y-axis) vs time (x-axis), blue dots for selection, red line for population growth

Explanation:

Step1: Recall carrying capacity definition

Carrying capacity is the maximum population size an environment can sustain, so on the graph, it's where the population curve levels off (horizontal asymptote or plateau).

Step2: Analyze the graph

The population curve (red) plateaus at \( y = 2000 \). The blue dot at the top (connected to \( y = 2000 \)) marks this plateau, which is the carrying capacity.

Answer:

The top - most blue dot (connected to the point where the population curve reaches \( y = 2000 \) and levels off).
