Darby · Answer 1

I believe its D) carrying capacity, but I could be wrong

Bryan Dean · Answer 2

Option D, carrying capacity

Explanation:

The population of China is the largest in the world. Considering its high growth rate, the nation has already imposed a restriction of no more than two children per couple.

Now, since the growth rate is higher the population of China keeps on rising make the available resources scarce for everyone. The scarce resources not only includes food but also includes economic resources such as land availability, Job opportunities, better medical conditions etc.

Thus, option D is correct.
