Question

population size
time (years)
what kind of
population
growth does this
graph show?
zero curve declining growth
logistic (s - curve) unpredictable
growth

Explanation:

The graph has a characteristic S - shaped curve. Logistic population growth (S - curve) shows population growth that starts slowly, then accelerates, and finally slows down as the population approaches the carrying capacity. The other options: zero curve would show no growth, declining growth would show a decreasing population over time, and unpredictable growth would not follow a consistent S - shaped pattern. So the graph shows logistic (S - curve) population growth.

Answer:

C. logistic (S - curve)
