Question 1153197

Bacteria grow in colonies over time. Which table shows growth of bacteria colonies that can be modeled by a linear graph?
A.Time (in hours)  1,2,3,4
Number ofcolonies  1,4,9,16
B. Time (in hours)  1,2,3,4
Numbers of colonies 5,10,15,20
C.Time (in hours) 1,2,3,4
Numbers of colonies 1,16,81,256
D. Time (in hours) 1,2,3,4
Number of colonies 5,25,125,625
<pre>For this to be linear, an INCREASE in time must be CONSISTENT (same), and accompanied by a CONSISTENT (same) INCREASE in colonies. 
Now, choose the answer that represents this!!
That's ALL!! Nothing COMPLEX!!
