Question

Use the graph to answer the question below.

The vertical axis is labeled number of individuals and the horizontal axis is labeled time. The graph shows a line that starts from a point on the vertical axis slightly above the origin and moves upward with the high slope. After reaching the maximum point, the line falls down slightly and then becomes almost parallel to the horizontal axis. A horizontal line from the vertical axis overlapping this part of the graph is labeled carrying capacity.

The initial rise in the line of the graph is an example of population growth in a species as a result of

The initial rise in the line of the graph represents population growth in a species, which is typically influenced by increased resources. In this context, the best response is:

an increase in food supply.

This option is relevant because an increase in food supply can lead to higher reproduction rates and lower mortality rates, driving population growth.
