    In the sigmoid growth curve given by the side, the alphabets indicate the sequence of events. Choose the correct option where the alphabet specifies the event

    A)
    A = Phase of slow growth
    B = Phase of exponential growth
    C = Phase of diminishing growth
    D = Stationary phase

    B)
    A = Phase of rapid growth
    B = Phase of diminishing growth
    C = Stationary phase
    D = Phase of slow growth

    C)
    A = Diminishing growth
    B = Exponential growth
    C = Slow growth
    D = Stationary growth

    D)
    A = Stationary phase
    B = Phase of slow growth
    C = Phase of rapid growth
    D = Phase of diminishing growth

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Many investigators have plotted size or weight of an organism against time producing a growth curve (a simple S-shaped curves). It shows the first lag phase or phase of slow growth, second phase of exponential growth, third phase of diminishing growth and last stationary phase.
