Answer: D because this is a positive non-linear relationship.

Explanation:

First off, we will rule out answer options A and C because they both are negative and the problem says that the value is being increased.

Next, we need to decide between answer option B (linear) or option D (exponential). Since the computer increases
(1)/(3) of it's value every year, this is an exponential growth.

For example, let us say the computer is currently worth $10. Next year it will be worth $13.33 (10 * 1.3333) and the year after that it will be worth $17.77 (13.33 * 1.333). This is not a linear relationship.
