Why C is wrong? **Beaver Population Growth in Ohio**The graph depicts the estimated beaver colonies in Ohio from 1960 to 2019. The blue line represents the estimated beaver colonies, showcasing a general trend of population increase over the years. Alongside is a black line illustrating the logistical growth curve, which highlights the growth rate dynamics. The red dashed line indicates a 20-year linear trend from 2000 to 2019. Key points on the graph, labeled A to E, mark different phases in growth, with a significant increase observed around point C, where the growth rate (\(r\)) is highest.**Text Explanation:**The beaver was once extirpated from Ohio but has since recolonized the state. Since 1960, the population has grown more or less logistically. The figure above graphs beaver population growth in Ohio and the approximate logistical growth curve (black line). At which point was the growth rate (\(r\)) the highest?- Choices: - A - B - C (correct) - D - E

Growth rate Population growth rate is the increase in the number of individual between two interval of time.Ans. The growth rate is maximum at point A The logistics growth rate can be calculated by using Growth rate = (present population — past population) / past population. Now calculation of growth rate at point C. Population at point B = 1000 (approx) Population at point C = 3500 (approx) Now using formula = (3500 - 1000) / 1000 Growth rate = 2.5 No calculation of growth rate at point A. Population previous to point A = 2 (approx) Population at point A = 200 (approx) Now using formula = (200 - 2) / 2 Growth rate = 99 Growth rate is maximum at point A The population befor A is taken 2 because the beaver population extinct and there were no beaver before 1960 in Ohio.
