When natural resources are unlimited, the populations grow very rapidly; this accelerating pattern of increasing population size is called:

Correct option is C

The Correct Answer is C: Exponential Growth.

Explanation:

• Exponential Growth refers to the rapid increase in population size when resources are unlimited and the growth rate is constant.
• It is a pattern of growth where the population size increases at a constant rate over time, resulting in a sharp upward curve.

Additional Information:

• Population Explosion refers to a sudden and significant increase in the population, which may not always be tied to unlimited resources.
• Carrying Capacity is the maximum population that an environment can sustain based on available resources.
• Logistic Growth describes a situation where population growth slows as it approaches the environment's carrying capacity.
