Most bacterial populations grown in controlled conditions will quickly expand to the limit of the food supply, produced toxic waste products that inhibit further growth, and reached an equilibrium state within a relatively short time.

(A) produce toxic waste products that inhibit further growth, and reached an equilibrium state within a relatively short time.
(B) will have produced toxic waste products that inhibit further growth and also will reach an equilibrium state within a relatively short time.
(C) will then produce a toxic waste product that inhibits further growth and thus reached an equilibrium state in a very short time.
(D) produce toxic waste products that inhibit further growth, and reach equilibrium.
(E) produce toxic waste products that inhibit further growth, and reach an equilibrium state in a fairly prompt way.
