Step-by-step explanation: In the beginning, we had just 3 rabbits, 3 months later we have 3 times the previous number which means 3 * 3 = 9. After Ms, MacDonald counts again and it has 3 times the previous number which means 9 * 3 = 27.

Step 1: We can represent this sequence from the beginning to the end as:


3\cdot3\cdot3=3^3=27

Result: So the final answer is letter A


3^3=27
