D is wrong. It’s an exponential function so every year the number of stores it opens grows. Which means there can’t be one number for each year in terms of amount of new stores.
Are your numbers right? Diana worked on her project for 613 hours, Gabe worked on it for 134 times as long as Diana, and Paula worked on her science project 34 times as long as Diana? Assuming they are, It is false that Diana worked longer on her science project than Gabe worked on his. Tell me if I read the question wrong, I am happy to help.
Y = 0 so
x^2 + 6x - 40 = 0
(x +10)(x - 4) = 0
x+10 = 0; x = -10
x - 4 = 0; x = 4
answer is C. x = -10 and x = 4
