1) The population of bacteria triples every day.

2) The value of a cell phone depreciates at a rate of 3.5% each year.

3) An amusement park allows 50 people to enter every 30 minutes.

4) A baseball tournament eliminates half of the teams after each round.

Option 3 is the correct option here.

Option 1 represents an exponential growth function as the population is tripling every day.

Option 2 represents an exponential decay function as the value is decreasing by a factor of 0.035 every year.

Option 3 represents a linear function because the number of people in the park increases by 50 each 30 minutes.

Option 4 represents an exponential decay function as the number of teams reduces by 0.5 on each round.
