The growth rate of a population per unit of time is calculated by using this formula: G = r x N. What is the quantity r and how is it calculated?

a. The quantity r is the exponential growth rate and is calculated by subtracting the number of deaths from the number of births.
b. The quantity r is the per capita growth rate and is calculated by multiplying the number of births and the number of deaths.
c. The quantity r is the per capita growth rate and is calculated by subtracting the number of deaths from the number of births.
d. The quantity r is the biotic potential of a population and is calculated by adding the birth rate and the death rate.
e. The quantity r is the monthly net increase of a population and is calculated by subtracting the number of births from the starting population size.
