A quadratic function and an exponential function are graphed below. Which graph most likely represents the exponential function? (5 points)

graph of function t of x is a curve which joins the ordered pair 0, 1 and 1, 3 and 3, 27. Graph of function p of x is a curve which joins the ordered pair 0, 2 and 1, 3 and 3, 11 and 5, 27 and 6, 38

Select one:
a. p(x), because an increasing exponential function will always exceeds an increasing quadratic function until their graphs intersect
b. t(x), because an increasing quadratic function will always exceeds an increasing exponential function until their graphs intersect
c. p(x), because an increasing quadratic function will eventually exceed an increasing exponential function
d. t(x), because an increasing exponential function will eventually exceed an increasing quadratic function
