Solution

The correct option is E 12
Carrying capacity is the maximum size of the population of a species that a certain environment can support for an extended period of time. In the graph, there is exponential increase and population size reaches its maximum at time point 12, after which there is no increase in population size. So, time point 12 represents the carrying capacity of the ecosystem. Thus, the correct answer is E.
