A: Cancer growth
Answer: A: Cancer growth 
Explanation: Gompezian curve: In its early stages, growth is exponential but, as the tumour grows, the growth rate slows. This decrease in growth rate probably arises because of difficulties with nutrition and oxygenation. The tumour cells are in competition: not only with the tissues of the host but also with each other.Ref: Bailey and Love 27e pg: 143
