Answer: Choice C

=================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

For choice C, the x values are out of order, so it might be tricky at first. I recommend sorting the x values from smallest to largest to get -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. Do the same for the y values as well. Make sure the correct y values stay with their x value pairs. You should get the list of y values to be 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4

Check out the attached image below for the sorted table I'm referring to

We can see the list of y values is going down as x increases. This is a good sign we have decay. Further proof is that we multiply each term by 1/2 to get the next one

4 times 1/2 = 2

2 times 1/2 = 1

1 times 1/2 = 1/2

1/2 times 1/2 = 1/4

and so on. Effectively we can say the decay rate is 50%
