Explanation:

The carrying - capacity of a population is the maximum number of individuals that an environment can support over a long period of time. In a population - growth curve, when the population reaches its carrying capacity due to limiting factors (such as food, space, or resources), the population size levels off. Point E on the curve shows the population size stabilizing, indicating that the population has reached its carrying capacity.

E.
