- Astairsteps shaped
- Bparabolic
- ✓sigmoid
- Dlinear.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
sigmoid
c
(c) : Geometric growth cannot be sustained for long in natural condition. Limited nutrient availability slows down the growth. It leads to a stationary phase or even a decline. Plotting the growth against time, gives a typical sigmoid or Scurve. Sigmoid curve of growth is typical of most organisms in their natural environment including plants.An idealised sigmoid growth curve is drawn below:
