O A. The population grows exponentially until It approaches 5,000 individuals, and then Its growth rate decreases.
O B. The population grows at a constant rate until t approaches 5,000 Individuals, and then the population size remains stable.
O c. The population grows exponentially until It approaches 5,000 Indlviduals, and then the population size begins to decrease.
