(A) The model for this scenario is an exponential function y = a*2^(t/4), where "t" is the time, in weeks,
which is not the given equation.
(B) The model for this scenario is y = , where g is the gravity acceleration and t is the time,
which is not the given equation.
(C) It can be modeled by the given equation.
The buoyancy force provides the acceleration.
(D) The model for this scenario is FV = , where P is the principal, n is the number of quarters
and (1+r) id the quarterly growth multiplicative factor.
This equation is of different form comparing with the given equation.
