NEET Biology question

A population growing in a habitat with limited resources shows four phases of growth in the following sequence

(A)Acceleration-Deceleration-Lag phase-Asymptote
(B)Asymptote-Acceleration-Deceleration-Lag phase
(C)Lag phase-Acceleration-Deceleration-AsymptoteCorrect
(D)Acceleration-Lag phase-Deceleration-Asymptote

Answer: (C)

Solution

In logistic (limited-resource) growth, a population first shows a lag phase of slow initial growth, then a phase of acceleration, followed by deceleration as resources
