Solution

The correct option is A Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion

The inherent maximum capacity of an organism to reproduce or increase in number is termed biotic potential. Biotic potential is realized only when the environmental conditions are non-limiting, so that natality rate is maximum and mortality rate is minimum. However, nature keeps a check on the expression of biotic potential. With increase in population size, the environmental resistance tends to increase.
