Since, population of species A is represented by :
Let us find the population of species A, at the end of week 1:
i.e., x = 1
i.e.,
i.e.,
i.e.,
Also, since population of species B is represented by :
Let us find the population of species B, at the end of week 1:
i.e., x = 1
i.e.,
i.e.,
i.e.,
Thus, at the end of 1 week, species A and species B will have the same population.
Hence, option D is correct.
