Answer 1

Answer:

B. There were 60 nano-related patents granted in 1991

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression:

60⋅1.2^t

t is years after 1991, that is, in the year 1993, t = 2

60 is the value of the expression at t = 0, then it represents the amount of nano-related patents granted in 1991
