Answer: B.) the original height of the plant was 2 mm.
Explanation:
The given function below models the correlation between the number of hours a plant is kept in sunlight 'x' in the height 'y', in mm to which it grows.

To find the y intercept of the function, we substitute the value of x =0 , we get

Hence, the original height of the plant = 2 mm
Therefore, the y intercept of the function is (0,2)
i.e. the original height of the plant = 2mm.
