Solution

The correct option is B Sigmoid
The curve obtained by plotting growth and time is called a growth curve.Typical growth curve in plants is sigmoid. During the initial stage, i.e., during the lag phase, the rate of plant growth is slow. The rate of growth then increases rapidly during the exponential phase. After some time the growth rate slowly decreases due to a limitation of nutrients. This phase constitutes the stationary phase.
