Answer:

e. Exponential growth occurs when a population increases at a fixed percentage of every generation.

Explanation:

Exponential growth occurs when the amount of increase is proportional to the population. That is, the increase is a fixed percentage of the population in any given time period (generation).

Many populations appear to have exponential growth when resources are effectively unlimited. The growth can be rapid, but isn't always. At some point, the population generally finds a limit to its growth, which then ceases to be exponential.

A function describing population growth that is jointly proportional to population and available resources is called a logistic function. It has an exponential component, but is not an exponential function.
