Changes in population are independent of the availability of an ecosystem's resources.

B

Explanation:

The answer is B; there cannot be a large population in an ecosystem that only provides a small amount of food; similar to how a family of six cannot live off of the same amount of food that a single person could easily live off of. This concept rules out both A and D, and C is also incorrect because the ecosystem is independent of the population, it is not aware of the amount of organisms living it; so it cannot alter it's resources based off of what organisms live in it.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
