I’d personally say either A or C, and here’s why: with B and D, you don’t know what will change it, or make it go from a linear rate of change to exponential for B, and for D it’s more of a quadratic than a linear. It’s for that same reasoning that I’d hesitate to say A over C: there are other factors other than strictly the number of tickets sold and the number of minutes pre-football game. C, with the grapes, on the other hand, is a linear one that will always changeable depending on weight of the grapes.
