Assume a new plot of land is added to the park, increasing the carrying capacity to 350 kudu. How will the population size change?

The population would continue to grow at the same rate until it hit 200 and then it would grow at a slower rate until it reached 350 kudu

The population would continue to grow until it hit the new carrying capacity.

It would provide more space for the trophy hunters to move in and hunt the kudu.

Answer: The population would continue to grow until it hit the new carrying capacity.

A new plot of land means new grazing ground for the kudu. Thus, the rate at which the population will grow will be constant untill the new carrying capacity is be reached.

There is no reason for the population to grow faster untill 200 individuals are reached and then to grow slower.
