Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The biotic potential of a population includes the maximum rate at which a population can reproduce and grow under ideal conditions. An increase in biotic potential would lead to an increase in population size. Alternatively, a decrease in natality (birth rate) or an increase in mortality (death rate) would decrease the population size. An increase in environmental resistance would also decrease the population size. Therefore, only choice C is the correct answer.
