<h2>Answer:</h2>

The slope of the line joining (3.9, P(3.9)) and (4.1, P(4.1)). Option D is correct.

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

Instantaneous rate of change is the measure of slope of a curve at a given instant.

From the given diagram, we can see that there is a line drawn tangential to the curve. The x-axis (time) for the slope of the curve must lie within the range of the tangential line.

Sine the range of time for the tangential line is between around t = 3 and t = 5, hence the x-axis for the slope must lie within this range.

From the given option, the only coordinate points that lie within the range is (3.9, P(3.9)) and (4.1, P(4.1))
