Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As resources are depleted, population growth rate slows and eventually stops: This is known as logistic growth. The population size at which growth stops is generally called the carrying capacity (K), which is the number of individuals of a particular population that the environment can support.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carrying Capacity (CC) can be defined as the population that can be supported indefinitely by its supporting systems. In ecological terms, the carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the size of the population that can be supported indefinitely upon the available resources and services of that ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘limiting resources’
