The initial period of population growth for a species in an environment is a. linear b. exponential c. slow d. negative

Exponential

Explanation:

Initially the growth of the population of species is exponential as there are few individuals and resources available which helps in growth and development of the organisms.

Sooner the resources will start depleting and the growth of the organism  decreases with time.

The growth levels off the carrying capacity of the environment and there is a change in population size over a period of time.
