Question

which type of growth occurs when population growth slows or stops after a period of exponential growth?
decreasing
exponential
linear
logistic

Explanation:

In population dynamics, logistic growth starts with exponential - like growth but slows or stops as it approaches the carrying capacity of the environment. Decreasing growth implies a decline in population size. Exponential growth is continuous and unrestricted. Linear growth has a constant rate of increase. Logistic growth fits the description of growth that slows or stops after exponential growth.

Answer:

D. logistic
