Answer:
The correct option is C.
Explanation:
∵ The given graph is of increasing nature.
∴The base of the exponential will be greater than 1.
∴ option A is incorrect.
Also, at x=0 the value of y=3, but in option B at x=0 ⇒y= 3^0 =1
∴ option B is also incorrect.
At x=0, y=3 for option 3 which satisfies the graph.
∴ the option C is correct.
option D is incorrect because the base of an exponential can never be negative.
