Answer:

C. 1200

Step-by-step explanation:

The current population of elks will be the population after 0 years have passed.

We are given:

f(x)=1200(0.8)^x

where x is years.

We want to find the current population, or 0 years from now. To do this, plug 0 in for x.

f(x)=1200(0.8)^x

f(0)=1200(0.8)^0

Anything raised to the power of 0 is 1.

f(0)=1200(1)

f(0)=1200

So, the current population of elk is 1200, or choice C
