The correct answer is 'carrying capacity'.
Explicación
## Step 1The question is asking for the term that describes the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that an environment can support. This is a concept in ecology known as the carrying capacity.## Step 2The term 'ecolimit' is not a recognized term in ecology, so it can be eliminated.## Step 3'Exponential growth' refers to a pattern of data that shows greater increases with passing time, which is not the same as the maximum number of individuals an environment can support.## Step 4'Biotic potential' is the maximum reproductive capacity of an organism under optimum environmental conditions, which also does not describe the maximum number of individuals an environment can support.
