Correct answer is (d) In a population at its K, the birth rate equals the death rate

Q. Which of the following is true for the carrying capacity $(K)$ ?

When $N = K$ , the birth rate in a population is zero

The rate of population growth in an unlimited environment is proportional to $K$

$K$ is always determined by the amount of food in an environment

In a population at its $K$ , the birth rate equals the death rate

Correct answer is (d) In a population at its $K$ , the birth rate equals the death rate
