Examine the graph the answer the question below.

The graph shows number of rotifers on the y-axis from 0 to 4500, in increments of 500. The x-axis is labeled as days. The data is as follows. Day 0: number of rotifers alone and number of rotifers with water fleas, 0. Day 2: number of rotifers alone and number of rotifers with water fleas, 0. Day 4: number of rotifers alone and number of rotifers with water fleas, 300. Day 6: number of rotifers alone and number of rotifers with water fleas, 500. Day 8: number of rotifers alone and number of rotifers with water fleas, 800. Day 10: number of rotifers alone, 1700 and number of rotifers with water fleas, 1600. Day 12: number of rotifers alone, 3000 and number of rotifers with water fleas, 1500. Day 14: number of rotifers alone, 4000 and number of rotifers with water fleas, 1100. Day 16: number of rotifers alone, 4200 and number of rotifers with water fleas, 200. Day 18: number of rotifers alone, 4200 and number of rotifers with water fleas, 0.

The carrying capacity for a population is the maximum number of individuals that the environment can support. According to the data provided for the number of rotifers alone, it appears that the highest number recorded is 4,200, which occurs on Day 14 and Day 16.

Therefore, the flask’s carrying capacity for rotifers in the absence of water fleas is 4,200.
