Determine the ration of each pair of consecutive y-values for each option
Option A
121=12=0.5
1312=230.66
1413=34=0.75
Option B
141=14=0.25
1914=490.44
11619=916=0.5625
Option C
1412=24=12=0.5
1814=48=12=0.5
11618=816=12=0.5
Option D
1412=24=12=0.5
1614=46=230.6667
1816=68=34=0.75
Thus, we can see, that we have a constant answer for the option C, and it can be generated by an exponential function.
