Answer:

See attached image.

Explanation:

Since the number of termites in a colony starts out with 125 insects and increases by 75% each week we are looking for a graph where the line crosses the y-axis (vertical axis) at 125 and continues to increases by 75%.

From the screenshots given only one graph has a line that intersects at 125 on the y axis and continues upward (see attached image). The other graphs depict a beginning number of termites of 875, 0, and 250.
