When it was shown that animals could reproduce geometrically but didn't, Darwin concluded that

  • A.The study from which the conclusions were drawn was flawed
  • B.The mathematics was faulty
  • C.They actually reproduce arithmetically
  • D.They failed to reach their potential because of the selective action of nature

Answer: D

Darwin concluded that populations fail to reach their reproductive potential because of selective pressures.

Every species could increase geometrically, yet numbers stay roughly stable. The difference is made up by deaths from competition, predation, disease and shortage - and which individuals die is not random.
