Answer:

C. Linear decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't really show a graph but I will try to explain

The water is leaking at a constant rate, meaning its not regaining it water (its only leaking). So if u were to graph this it would be a linear decrease

( That was a Terrible explanation but the answer is right lol)
