correct
Explanation
The correct answer is (D). The carrying capacity of an environment is the maximum population size of a species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other necessities available in the environment. On the graph provided, point D represents the carrying capacity for the horse population on the island. This is indicated by the leveling off of the population, suggesting that it has reached a stable state that the environment can support without further significant increases or decreases over a period of time.
