The logistic population growth is expressed by the equation:

A $\frac{d N}{d t} = r N$
B $\frac{d N}{d t} = r N (\frac{N - K}{N})$
C $\frac{d N}{d t} = N r (\frac{K - N}{K})$
D $\frac{d N}{d t} = r N (\frac{K - N}{K})$

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The Verhulst-Pearl Logistic Growth equation is \frac{d N}{d t} = r N (\frac{K - N}{K}), where N is population density, r is intrinsic rate of natural increase, and K is carrying capacity.
