Solution

The correct option is E rN(KN)/K

The logistic growth curve (J-shaped curve) shows population growth when resources are limited. Carrying capacity is the maximum size of the population of a species that a certain environment can support for an extended period of time. The logistic growth equation can be given as dN/dt= rN (K-N/K). Here, r = the intrinsic rate of growth, N = the number of organisms in a population, and K = the carrying capacity. Thus, the correct answer is E.
