Solution

The correct option is A dN/dt=rN(KNK)
S-shaped growth curve is also called Verhulast-Pearl logistic curve and is represented by the following equation.
dNdt=rN(KNK)=rN(1NK)
where dNdt= rate of change in population size, r = intrinsic rate of natural increase, N = population density, K= carrying
capacity and (KNK) = environmental resistance.
