Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

With logistic growth, the population starts out growing slowly, and then the rate of growth increases—but only to a point. The rate of growth tapers off as the population size approaches its carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is the largest population size that can be supported in an area without harming the environment. This type of growth characterizes many populations.


Q: With logistic growth, how does population growth start out?

 Choices:

- exponentially

- rapidly

- steadily

- slowly

slowly
