First, we have to find the rate of change of the given function using the slope formula


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Let's replace the points (0, 3) and (1, 0), where


\begin{gathered} x_1=0 \\ x_2=1 \\ y_1=3 \\ y_2=0 \end{gathered}
m=(0-3)/(1-0)=-3

The given function has a rate of change of -3.

Let's find the relationship with a lesser rate of change.

We can deduct that function C has a lesser rate because its rate is -6 which is less than -3.

Hence, the answer is C.
