Which one of the following equations represents the Verhulst-Pearl Logistic Growth of population?

1. dNdt = rN ( N-KN )
2. dNdt = N ( r-KK )
3. dNdt = r ( K-NK )
4. dNdt = rN ( K-NK )

The equation of Verhulst-Pearl logistic growth is dNdt = rN [ K-NK ]. From this equation, K indicates:

1. Intrinsic rate of natural increase
2. Biotic potential
3. Carrying capacity
4. Population density
