Answer:

D. When there is no competition

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is no competition in a population, exponential growth can occur.

Without competition, resources are not limited and a population can grow rapidly.

With limited resources, a high death rate, and a reached carrying capacity, population growth is strongly limited and cannot grow at an exponential rate.

So, answer choices A, B, and C are all incorrect.

The correct answer is D. When there is no competition
