Explanation:

If the function was linear, the balance in dollars would increase by a fixed amount each 1o years. You can see that the increase in the balance every 10 years is not fixed, but varies and increases with time.

Therefore, we can eliminate A and B. The function is increasing with time so it's a growth function. The correct answer is D.

Another way to check if it's a linear function is to simply plot the points.

Hope this helps!
