Answer
A
0 point 9
B
0 point 3
C
1 point 0
D
1 point 5

Explanation

In f(x) = A(1/3)^x, A multiplies every output, so it controls a vertical stretch or compression. A vertical stretch occurs when |A| is greater than 1; among the choices, 1.5 is the only value greater than 1. Therefore, the function stretches when A is 1.5.
