Answer: d) Exponential growth

Explanation:

First, we see that we have a number being raised to the power of x. This is an exponential function (quadradic is raised to the power of 2, linear is the first degree).

Next, we see that the coefficient is a positive number. This means that the given function is option d, exponential growth. We can also graph the given function. See attached.
