Correct answer: "the maximum number of organisms an environment can support for a long time."
Explanation: carrying capacity is the largest population size of a species that an environment can sustain indefinitely, given available resources (food, water, space), predation, disease, and other limiting factors. The other choices are incomplete or incorrect (it's about population size over time, not the number of species).
