Solution

The correct option is B decrease
The logistic growth equation is given by:
dNdt =rN (KNK)
where N = Population density at time t
r = Intrinsic rate of natural increase
K = Carrying capacity

When N approaches K, dN/dt will tends to 0. This means that the growth rate will decrease as K approaches N.
