Which equation correctly models the relationship between hours passed, h, and the number of bacteria present, b, as shown in the table?

Amount of Bacteria

Hours # of

Passed Bacteria

0 1

1 2

2 4

3 8

4 16


A. b=2 to the h power

B. b=2 to the h power plus 1

C. b=2h

D. b=2h+1
sorry, it shows it a bit messed up. the number of hours is shown on the left side with the numbers directly below it. the number of bacteria is the second column.
