Answer
A
limit capacity
B
carrying capacity

limiting factor
D
logistic factor

Explanation

The maximum population an environment can sustainably support is called its carrying capacity. Here, the forest can support up to 230 wolves, so 230 is the forest’s carrying capacity. A limiting factor is something that restricts population growth, not the maximum population itself.
