What will happen to the population if it exceeds the carrying capacity?

The population returns to the carrying capacity.

Explanation:

If a population exceeds the carrying capacity, there will not be enough resources to sustain everyone.  Since there will be shortages of food, water, or whatever limiting factor there is, some members will die out.  When enough members die and the population drops back to at or below the carrying capacity, there will be enough resources to sustain everyone again, so they stop dying.  

that is wrong, its not thymus.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
