Assertion A: The logistic growth model of populations is considered more realistic than the exponential growth model. Reason R: Resources are finite. Choose the most appropriate answer:

  1. A.Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. B.Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
  3. C.A is correct but R is not correct
  4. D.A is not correct but R is correct

Correct Answer

(A) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

Solution & Explanation

Because resources (food, space) are finite, no population can grow exponentially forever; growth slows as the carrying capacity is approached — giving the sigmoid (logistic) curve. So the logistic model is more realistic, and the finiteness of resources is exactly the reason — R correctly explains A.
