There are two leaves, 
and 
, that have increased their area by 
over a specific time interval to produce leaves A1 and B1. Initially, Leaf A had an area of 
, and Leaf B had an area of 
. Which of the following statements is true concerning their growth rates?
and 
have the same absolute growth rate, but 
has a higher relative growth rate.
and 
have the same absolute growth rate, but B has a higher relative growth rate.
and 
have the same relative growth rate, but 
has a higher absolute growth rate.
and 
have the same relative growth rate, but B has a higher absolute growth rate.

Both leaves 
and 
have the same absolute growth rate, but A has a higher relative growth rate.
Both Leaf A and Leaf B have increased their area by 
, so their absolute growth rates are the same. However, the relative growth rate is expressed per unit initial parameter (in this case, initial area)
For Leaf A: Relative Growth Rate 
For Leaf B: Relative Growth Rate 
So, Leaf A has a higher relative growth rate.
