The correct option is D
S
In logistic growth the population increases in an exponential manner initially and then as the population size nears the carrying capacity of the population the growth rate decreases and at the carrying capacity growth ceases and the graph flattens out. Thus this forms an S-shaped curve. The exponential growth curve is J shaped.
