Answer:

C.
N(t)=150\cdot 3^t

Explanation:

You are given the exponential function
n(t)=ab^t.

From the table,
N(t)=150 at
t=0, thus


N(0)=a\cdot b^0\\ \\150=a\cdot 1\ [\text{ because }b^0=1]

Also
N(t)=450 at
t=1, thus


N(1)=a\cdot b^1=a\cdot b.

Since
a=150, substitute it into the second equation


450=150\cdot b\\ \\b=(450)/(150)\\ \\b=3

and the expression for the exponential function is


N(t)=150\cdot 3^t
