Solution

The correct option is B Geometrically

In his 1798 work, An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus examined the relationship between population growth and resources. From this, he developed the Malthusian theory of population growth in which he wrote that population growth occurs exponentially in geometric progression, so it increases according to birth rate.
