Although the carrying capacity of a population is determined by food availability, what other factor affects the carrying capacity?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clean air and water affect the carrying capacity because they are essential resources for the survival of any population. Without access to clean air and water, a population may not be able to sustain itself even if there is enough food available. The other options (A, C, and D) may indirectly affect carrying capacity, but they are not direct factors that determine the maximum population size that can be supported by a given environment.
