Answer: option B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change only takes into account the starting point and the end point.

For n = 1 to n = 5, the end point is (5, 14) and the starting point is (1, 2).

The formula is:

change on the output
average rate of change = ------------------------------- =
change on the input

end output - starting output 14 - 2 12
= --------------------------------------- = ---------- = ----- = 3
end input - starting input 5 - 1 4

Answer: option B. 3
