Answer:

d. mutation rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth and logistic growth are terms related to the growth rate of a population. Exponential growth refers to the growth of a population relative to growth per individual. That is, it refers to the growth of population size as a result of the increase in the number of individuals in that population.

Logistic growth, on the other hand, refers to the decrease in population size relative to the number of individuals. That is, this growth is related to the death or departure of individuals from a population as a result of limiting factors in the environment.

Both types of growth may differ in the presence of dietary limits, disease limits and carrying capacity. However, the mutation rate (which refers to the frequency of various types of mutations over time.) Is not a factor that differentiates the exponential limit from the logistic limit.
