Answer:

A. An exponential parent function.

Explanation:

The given function
f(x)=3^(x) is exponential because it has the variable as the exponent.

In addition, parent functions refer to basic functions, that is, the simplest form of a function, which more complex versions are obtained by transformation. In this case, the given function is a simple form of an exponential function, that's why is called an exponential parent function.
