Answer:
b. logistic
Step-by-step explanation:
Logistic growth occurs when growth begins as exponential but then slows and flattens out (or becomes constant) at a certain point. The growth of a population is logistic because at the beginning all populations growths are exponential. This is because there are more than enough resources when a population is small. However, once a population reaches carrying capacity, which is the limit an environment can hold, resources begin to run out and the growth becomes slower and constant. Logistic growth is also known as an "S curve" because on a graph the growth resmbles an S.
