Use the graph to answer the question below.

The vertical axis is labeled number of individuals and the horizontal axis is labeled time. The graph shows a line that starts from a point on the vertical axis slightly above the origin and moves upward with the high slope. After reaching the maximum point, the line falls down slightly and then becomes almost parallel to the horizontal axis. A horizontal line from the vertical axis overlapping this part of the graph is labeled carrying capacity.

The initial rise in the line of the graph is an example of population growth in a species as a result of
