(D) The relationship between species richness and area for a wide variety of taxa (angiosperm plants,birds,bats,freshwater fishes) turns out to be a rectangular hyperbola.On a logarithmic scale,this relationship becomes a straight line described by the equation $\log S = \log C + Z \log A$.However,when plotted on a normal scale with area $(A)$ on the $X$-axis and species richness $(S)$ on the $Y$-axis,the equation $S = CA^z$ represents a rectangular hyperbola,which appears as a curve that rises steeply at first and then levels off as the area increases.Among the given options,the graph shown in option $D$ represents this characteristic rectangular hyperbola curve.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(P)$ Plants	$(I)$ $40,000$
$(Q)$ Fishes	$(II)$ $3,000$
$(R)$ Birds	$(III)$ $1,300$
$(S)$ Mammals or Amphibians	$(IV)$ $427$
$(T)$ Reptiles	$(V)$ $378$

In the equation $S = CA^z$,where $S =$ species richness,$A =$ area,$Z =$ slope of the line,and $C =$ $Y$-intercept. If area is on the $X$-axis and species richness is on the $Y$-axis,what will the graph of $S = CA^z$ look like?
