Which best describes the relationship between population size, carrying capacity, and limiting factors? a. the size of population usually stays high due to its carrying capacity and limiting factors. b. the size of a population usually stays near its limiting factors to carrying capacity. c. the size of a population usually stays near its carrying capacity due to limiting factors. d. the size of population usually stays low to its carrying capacity and limiting factors.

The correct answer is- C.

Carrying capacity can be described as the maximum number of organisms belonging to a particular species that can be sustained by resources present in the area.

Due to the presence of limiting factors ( such as food, water, weather conditions), the size of a population usually stays near its carrying capacity.

This is because initially population experience rapid growth but later on due the limiting factor ( environmental factor that causes decline in the population) it will decline and then stabilize near the carrying capacity.

Thus, population size stays near the carrying capacity because of limiting factors.

the correct answer should be false
