<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>

Let a be the initial value and x be the power of the exponent function and b be the increasing factor. The exponent is given as

y = a(b)ˣ

The number of people participating in a challenge is an example of exponential growth and might be modeled by a function such as

y = 2 × (2.5)ˣ

The number 2.5 in this function represents the average number of people each person challenged.

Then the correct option is D.
