True:
- The pond can support a population size of 90 goldfish.
- The pond can support a population size of 75 goldfish.
- The pond can support a population size of 50 goldfish.
Explanation: carrying capacity (K) is the maximum sustainable population. With K = 90, populations ≤ 90 can be supported; populations above 90 (110 or 125) cannot be sustained long-term.
