B) The growth rate decreases because not all butterflies will be nourished enough because of lack of supplies for the growing colony

Situation explanation:

So, the maximum capacity of monarch butterfly individuals that can live in the meadow is 5000. That means that the 20-butterfly population will continue growing (reproducing) until it reaches 5000.

Answer explanation:

If the population were to grow exponentially, there wouldn't be an end and the 5000-limit would not be respected.

If the population were to grow logistically, the end of the growth would be the same as the limit, which means that the 5000-limit would be respected.

--> Therefore, the only possible answer is D, which states that the population will reach 5000 and after that the growth will stabilise (exactly what would hapen in a logistic growth).

Hope it helped,
