Amajor change in evolutionary patterns over long periods of time is best described as:
a. allopatric speciation
b. directional selection
c. sympatric speciation
d. microevolution
e. macroevolution

A major change over long periods of time is best described as macroevolution.

Explanation:

Macroevolution would be referring to evolution on a larger scale where populations speciate etc. A, B and C are various forms of speciation and microevolution would be referring to smaller changes in evolutionary patterns e.g. in adaptive or physical traits which may not be deemed 'significant' enough to be considered a speciation event.

as resources become scarce because of population growth, the growth decreases after few years due to lack of resources and food.
