Question 18 options:

changing reproductive patterns

family planning strategies

new technological advances

widespread fatal diseases

new technological advances

Explanation:

The carrying capacity indicates the maximum population of a particular species that a given area of habitat can support over a given period without destroying or depleting the resource base.

Carrying capacity can be affected by factors such as technological advances, trade and use of fossil fuels for energy. Changes in technology modify the carrying capacity of a population. An example is the use of irrigation and fertilisation in agriculture or shortening rotations between crops, which increases the number of people who can be fed from the resources of a given population due to increased yield.
