Question

if a population grows larger than its environmental carrying capacity, then a death rate may rise. b immigration rate may increase. c birth rate may rise significantly. d death rate may fall significantly.

Explanation:

When a population exceeds its environmental carrying - capacity, resources become scarce. This leads to increased competition for resources, which in turn can cause the death rate to rise as individuals struggle to survive due to lack of food, shelter, etc. Birth rate is likely to decrease rather than increase due to stress and resource limitations, and immigration is not likely to increase as the environment is already over - stressed.

Answer:

A. death rate may rise.
