E. For both exponential growth and decay, the relative growth rate is constant. The absolute growth rate increases for exponential growth and decreases for exponential decay.
Step-by-step explanation:
The defining characteristic of exponential growth or decay is that <em>the rate of change is proportional to the quantity</em>. The proportionality constant (relative growth rate) is just that—<em>constant</em>. The absolute growth rate increases as the quantity increases and decreases as the quantity decreases.
