Answer:

  • D. Yes; it has a constant ratio

-------------------------------

The number of cells is 25.

Every hour it gets 4 times greater, so after x hours it becomes:

  • C(x) = 25*4ˣ, where c(x) - number of cells after x hours

As we see it is an exponential function with the constant ratio of 4.

Therefore the matching option is D.
