Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data  

x  1   2  3  4  5  

f(x)  243  81  27  9  3

The rate of change between the second and the first points is computed as  

(f(x2) - f(x1))/(x2 -x1) =  (81 - 243)/(2-1) = -162

Analogously, between 3rd and 2nd points and between  4th and 3rd points:

27 - 81 = -54

9 - 27 = -18

Therefore, the average rate of change is (-162 -54 -18)/3 = -78 contestants per round, and it represents the average rate at which the number of contestants changed from the first round to the fourth round .
