The life history pattern in which population growth is logistic is called C. equilibrium pattern.
In a logistic growth model, populations initially experience rapid growth, but as they approach the carrying capacity of their environment (the maximum population size that can be supported), the growth rate slows and eventually levels off. This results in an equilibrium pattern where the population stabilizes near the carrying capacity. This pattern is in contrast to opportunistic patterns (which involve rapid population increases and decreases) and is associated with a more stable and regulated population growth.
