Answer:

Logistic growth

Step-by-step explanation:

J-curve can be easily eliminated as it is just a J shaped graph, simple enough right?

Linear growth is just a linear line... so that's not it either!

Now we have logistic growth, which fits the graph perfectly!

And here's the trick option, the carrying capacity is a part of the logistic growth graph, but NOT the function we are seeing on the screen right now. See the diagram attached below.

Therefore answer is C, logistic growth!

Hope this helps, please ask any questions you have down in the comment section below, I'll be more than happy to answer them!

Edit: Original graph is a PNG therefore blends right into the background.
