Answer:

change over time B

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the graph, we would expect the bacterial population to change over time. Initially, growth is exponential. The population curve then levels off; that probably represents the carrying capacity for the population. The curve then turns downward indicating a decline in the microbial population. The decline can be attributed to many factors, both density-dependent and density-independent.
