Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the logistic model of population growth, if r > 0, it means that the intrinsic rate of increase is positive, indicating that the population is growing. However, if the population size exceeds the carrying capacity (K), the growth rate starts slowing down and eventually stops as the population reaches its limit. This means that N < K, eliminating choices A, B, and E. Therefore, the best choice is D, N < K.
