Answer

limiting factor
B
logistic factor

D
limit capacity

Explanation

Carrying capacity is the largest population of a species that an environment can support over time. Since the forest can support at most 230 wolves, 230 is its carrying capacity. A limiting factor is something that restricts population growth, not the maximum population itself.
