Solution

The correct option is B S
A logistic growth curve that is limited by a definite carrying capacity is shaped like the letter 'S' or a sigmoid curve, which is differentiated into three parts the Lag phase, the Log phase or the exponential growth phase and the stationary or plateau phase. At this phase the amount of resources cannot support the growing population, due to which the number of members in the population is prevented from increasing
So, the correct answer is 'S'
