Question

what does a short doubling time suggest about a population? it is shrinking. it is growing rapidly. it is growing slowly.

Explanation:

Doubling time is the time it takes for a population to double in size. A short doubling time means the population reaches double its current size in a short period, indicating rapid growth. A shrinking population would have a negative growth rate (not related to doubling time in the growth sense), and a long doubling time would mean slow growth.

Answer:

B. It is growing rapidly.
