Solution

The maximum number of individuals that an environment can support is determined by its carrying capacity.

Explanation:

Carrying capacity is defined as the maximum population size that can be sustained by the available resources in the environment, such as food, water, and shelter. This limit is influenced by factors like resource availability and environmental conditions. When a population reaches its carrying capacity, its growth stabilizes as the environment can no longer support additional individuals.
