  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D
    None of these

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The rate of growth is given by .According to the problem:

Given the proportionality constant :

Separate the variables:

Integrate both sides:


Exponentiate both sides:

Let be the arbitrary constant:

(Note: The solution in the source seems to have a typo regarding the exponent; based on , it must be ).
