Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Both populations would stabilize at small size 'cause the space in the petri dish or assay tube it's a factor that has an important role in the size of bacteria or fungus populations (in case you're working with bacterias or fungus). Each population will take a specific place in the culture media, due to space those populations could be so small or hard to differentiate from another population.
