Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

Sink function

Carrying capacity refers to the capacity of the environment to support economic production and consumption. Source function and sink function are the factors that affect carrying capacity. If the source function is low, then the environment will have less resources to use. Similarly, if the sink function is low, then there will be waste accumulation.
