Describe the basic differences between linear growth and exponential growth.
Choose the correct answer below.
A.
Linear growth occurs when a quantity grows by the same absolute amount in each unit of​ time, and exponential growth occurs when a quantity grows by the same relative​ amount, that​ is, by the same​ percentage, in each unit of time.
B.
Linear growth occurs when a quantity grows by​ different, but proportional​ amounts, in each unit of​ time, and exponential growth occurs when a quantity grows by random amounts in each unit of time.
C.
Linear growth occurs when a quantity grows by random amounts in each unit of​ time, and exponential growth occurs when a quantity grows by​ different, but proportional​ amounts, in each unit of time.
D.
Linear growth occurs when a quantity grows by the same relative​ amount, that​ is, by the same​ percentage, in each unit of​ time, and exponential growth occurs when a quantity grows by the same absolute amount in each unit of time.
