Solution

The correct option is A Carrying capacity
A. Carrying capacity is the maximum population size that an ecosystem can sustain.
B. Biotic potential is the maximum reproductive capacity of organisms of a population under optimum environmental conditions.
C. Self-regulation is the ability of an organism to respond to the ongoing processes in it without the interference of any external factor.
D. Feed back mechanism regulates the synthesis and inhibition of a particular product in an organism.
Hence, carrying capacity does not play a significant role in the maintenance of homeostasis in an ecosystem.
