For populations that grow exponentially (dN/dt = N); which of the following populations will experience the fastest population growth rate?

a) A population of 1000 rabbits that has a yearly death rate of 0.01 and a yearly birth rate of 0.11.
b) A population of 1000 wolves that has a yearly death rate of 0.01 and a yearly birth rate of 0.06.

d) A population of 1000 blue whales that has a yearly death rate of 0.01 and a yearly birth rate of 0.01.

Option A
