In order for the function to represent an exponential decay, the value of b needs to be a value between 0 and 1.

So analysing each value, we have:

√(0.9)

Since 0.9 is lesser than 1, its square root is also lesser than 1, so this is a valid option.

1 1/5

This value is greater than 1, so it's not a valid option.

√e

The value of e is approximately 2.71, so its square root is greater than 1, so it's not a valid option.

2^-1

This value is equal to 1/2, that is, 0.5, so it's lesser than 1, therefore it's a valid option.
