Solution

The correct option is D

K and carrying capacity


In logistic growth the growth ceases and the population stabilizes when the population size reaches the carrying capacity of the habitat. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a population that a habitat can hold, and is represented by K. N on the other hand is the representation for the populatio size, therefore when N=K the growth ceases and the population stabilizes.
