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 - growth models, logistic growth starts with exponential - like growth but then slows and levels off as it approaches the carrying capacity of the environment. Decreasing growth means decline, exponential growth is continuous acceleration, and linear growth is a constant rate of increase, none of which match the described pattern.

Answer:

D. logistic
