Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial population of rabbits = A = 6

Each year, there were 4 times as many rabbits as the year before.

i.e. b = 4

Let the number of years be x.

So, our required equation will be


f(x)=Ab^x=6(4)^x

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.
