The reason I chose C is the fact that the numbers go down greatly, and it has to to be geometric because when you are trying to solve the problem with arithmetic you don't get and exact rule for how to solve the problem.
The axis of symmetry of a parabola in the form

is a vertical line

where k is the x coordinate of the vertex of the parabola.
The x coordinate of the vertex of the parabola is given by

which in your case is

So, the axis of symmetry is the line x=12.
