Concept:The largest number of individuals that an environment can support is called carrying capacity.
Explanation:Carrying capacity is the maximum population size that a given area can sustain over time.
It depends on the availability of resources such as food, water, and shelter.
When a population exceeds this limit, resources become scarce and survival decreases.
Population density measures how crowded a population is, not its maximum limit.
Population growth refers to changes in population size, and maximum population is too vague a term.
Therefore, the correct ecological term for this limit is carrying capacity.
Answer:B. carrying capacity
