Which statement is true about the relationship between carrying capacity and population size? a. if a population is more than the carrying capacity, it leads to a positive growth rate and increased population. b. if a population is less than the carrying capacity, it leads to a negative growth rate. c. if a population is less than the carrying capacity, it leads to a positive growth rate and increased population. d. if a population is more than the carrying capacity, it leads to a neutral growth rate.

C. If a population is less than the carrying capacity, it leads to a positive growth rate and increased population.

Explanation:

Carrying capacity can be define as the maximum size of the population of the species that an ecosystem can support on the basis of availability of resources. Population size is the number of individuals of the population of species.

The carrying capacity depends on the size of the population. This is because of the fact that as the size of the population exceeds over the carrying capacity this will lead to decline of population as the carrying capacity will not able to support such an increase. Thus the population size should be less then the carrying capacity of the population. This will help in increase in size of the population and facilitate the positive growth rate.
