Question

which statement about the population is true? the graph shows that the population of deer will eventually be 0. the rate at which the population of deer grows decreases as it approaches 1,500. the graph shows that the population of deer decreases over time. the rate at which the population of deer grows increases as it approaches 1,500.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the shape of the population - growth graph. It is a logistic - growth - like curve.
2. In a logistic - growth model, as the population approaches the carrying capacity (in this case, around 1500 as the graph levels off), the growth rate decreases.
3. The population is increasing overall and not decreasing, and it will not reach 0.

Answer:

The rate at which the population of deer grows decreases as it approaches 1,500.
