Which one of the following is INCORRECT about logistic growth model?

A Only the fittest individuals will survive and reproduce in limited resources.
B The rate of growth accelerates after initial log phase.
C In nature, a given habitat has enough resources to support any number of species, but the growth is limited.
D For animal populations, logistic growth model is considered a more realistic one.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) In nature, a given habitat has enough resources to support any number of species, but the growth is limited.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In nature, a given habitat has enough resources to support a maximum possible number of species, beyond which no further growth is possible.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
