Solution

The correct option is B K = N
A population growing in a habitat with limited resources shows logistic growth. It initially shows a lag phase, followed by phases of acceleration and deceleration. Finally, an asymptote is obtained when the population density (N) reaches the carrying capacity (K) i.e., N = K. This is in accordance with the following equation :
dNdt= rN (KNK]
where r is the intrinsic rate of natural increase and t is the time
