A small town that grows exponentially can become a large city in just a few decades.

Option 1) Does not make sense because exponential growth leads to repeated halvings, making the population decrease rapidly.

Option 2) Does not make sense because growth cannot continue indefinitely so the population will not get large enough for the town to be considered a city.

Option 3) Makes sense because exponential growth leads to repeated doublings making the population increase slowly.

Option 4) Makes sense because exponential growth leads to repeated doublings making the population increase rapidly.
