| The growth rate of a population stabilizes after |
| a) | Logarithmic phase | b) | Stationary phase |
| c) | Carrying capacity | d) | Negative acceleration phase |
| (c)Carrying capacity can be defined as the level beyond, which no major increase can occur. This limit is constant and represented by K. When a population reaches the carrying capacity of its environment, the population has zero growth rate so, the growing rate of a population stabilizes around the carrying capacity. |
