Solution

The correct option is C Biotic potential
Biotic potential is the ability of a population of living species to increase under ideal environmental conditions – sufficient food supply, no predators, and a lack of disease. Carrying capacity is the total number of individuals a population can sustainably hold. Natality and birth rate are the same, indicating the rate at which individuals are added to a population by birth.
