A scientist has collected the following data on the population of a bacteria colony over a thirty-minute period:

5 minutes: 78,000

10 minutes: 234,000

15 minutes: 657,000

20 minutes: 1,784,000

25 minutes: 5,040,000

30 minutes: 14,980,000

Which type of graph would be best to use to display the growth of the colony?

A.) a bar graph

B.) a circle graph

C.) a histogram

D.) a line graph
