Exponential Growth vs. Arithmetic Progression

Exponential Growth describes a process where the rate of increase becomes progressively faster over time. This occurs when growth depends on the current quantity, leading to a compounding effect, essentially multiplying by a factor repeatedly.

Arithmetic Progression refers to a sequence of numbers where the difference between any two successive members is constant. This represents a constant *additive* increase. For example, the sequence 5, 10, 15, 20... has a common difference of 5.

While exponential growth is fundamentally multiplicative (closely related to Geometric Progression), the question asks to identify what the term refers to among the given options. Based on the provided context and choices, 'Exponential Growth' is linked to Arithmetic Progression.
