Detailed explanation-1: -The world’s human population is currently experiencing exponential growth even though human reproduction is far below its biotic potential ([link]). To reach its biotic potential, all females would have to become pregnant every nine months or so during their reproductive years.
Detailed explanation-2: -This accelerating pattern of increasing population size is called exponential growth. The best example of exponential growth is seen in bacteria.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Exponential’.
Detailed explanation-4: -The growth of the global human population shown in Figure 8 appears exponential, but viewing population growth in different geographic regions shows that the human population is not growing the same everywhere.
