Answer: The correct answer is -

Option E).

Explanation:

Carrying capacity can be described as the maximum number of organisms belonging to a particular species that the resources (such as food, water, shelter) of an area can hold indefinitely without significantly reducing or degrading those resources. It can be altered with the change in the environmental conditions. For instance, when environmental conditions are favourable for the population, carrying capacity increases and it decreases with unfavorable conditions.

Thus, option E) is the right answer.
