The answer is ; Bacteria growth entered the stationary phase after 3 hours

The bacterial growth is logistical – meaning it is represented by an S- curve. After the exponential phase where the bacterial population doubles with each generation, the stationary phase is reached. In this phase, the bacteria growth rate equals the death rate. The reduced growth rate is due to competition for resources between individuals of the population.
