Solution

The correct option is A

Zero growth


Carrying capacity is the population size that a habitat can sustain, therefore once a population reaches its carrying capacity it will not increase further and the growth ceases. At this stage the mortality is equal to the natality. When the mortality is higher than natality the population size decreases and when the mortality is lesser than natality the population size increases.
