A closer look at the graph will reveal that the growth rate of the mice's population is slowing down at point C.
The population growth curve
The growth curve shown is logistical in nature.
After successfully acclimatizing to the environment, the rate of growth of the population rises exponentially as resources remain abundant.
At a particular point, continuous expansion of the population will put pressure on the available resources in the ecosystem. Limited resources mean that the population growth will slow down and then levels off as the carrying capacity of the ecosystem is reached.
Point C represents where the population started to slow down.
