The compound interest formula is :


A=P(1+(r)/(n))^(nt)

where A is the amount in the account, P is the principal, r is the interest rate, t is time, and n is the number of times interest is compounded per time 't'. The variables are A and t, that is, P, r, and n are known. Given that t is on the exponent then the relationship represents an exponential growth. Therefore, the correct answer is:

D. The amount in an account results from 10% interest on $1,000 compounded annually for 5 years
