Solution
The correct option is B Sigmoid
Geometric growth cannot be maintained to a greater extent in natural circumstances. Inadequate nutrient availability delays growth, and it leads to a stationary phase or even a drop. Plotting the growth against time gives a standard sigmoid S-curve. The sigmoid curve of growth is characteristic of most organisms in their natural environment, including plants, as it maintains an equilibrium over a period of time. It has a lag phase (slow initial growth), an exponential phase or a log phase (rapid growth of plant) and a stationary phase (slow or no growth).
