Answer: I believe the answer is A. If a population is less than the carrying capacity, it leads to a positive growth grate and increased population because, according to Khan Academy (and the logistic growth model), "a population first grows exponentially because there are few individuals and plentiful resources. As the population gets larger and approaches the environment’s carrying capacity, resources become more scarce and the growth rate slows."
