The population $P = P(t)$ at time $t$ of a certain species follows the differential equation $\frac{dP}{dt} = 0.5P - 450$. If $P(0) = 850$,then the time at which the population becomes zero is:

  • A
    $\log_{e} 18$
  • B
    $\log_{e} 9$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \log_{e} 18$
  • D
    $2 \log_{e} 18$
