After first week pond will be:
10 + 10* 0.03 = 10*(1.03) feet deep
after second week it will be:

10*(1.03) + 10*(1.03)*0.03 = 10*(1.03)^2

from this we can conclude that after x week its will be:
10*(1.03)^x

Note that when second week starts our starting pond is already greater by 3%. every week we add 3% of prevous weeks size of pond

for x = 8 we get
f(x) = 10*(1.03)^8 = 12.66 or rounded 13 feet

Answer is D.
