Belinda is making a step graph to illustrate the carrying capacity of seals and other organisms in the food chain of a local harbor. What should she MOST likely show in the graph?

The primary consumers will reach their carrying capacities at the same time.

The predators and prey will reach their carrying capacities at the same time.

The organisms’ carrying capacity duration will overlap.

The organisms’ carrying capacity duration will not overlap.
The organisms' carrying capacity duration will not overlap.
Belinda should show in the step graph that different organisms in the food chain, such as seals and their prey, will reach their carrying capacities at different times rather than all at the same time. This will demonstrate the dynamic nature of the ecosystem and how different populations respond to changes in resources and competition.
