The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The growth of any population can be characterized by five distinct phases: the Lag Phase, Positive Acceleration Phase, Exponential Phase, Negative Acceleration Phase, and Stationary Phase. The third phase, known as the Exponential Phase, is where the population experiences its maximum growth rate, and this growth remains constant. During this period, the population undergoes rapid expansion due to an abundance of food and ample resources, with minimal competition.
