For which pair of functions is the exponential consistently growing at a faster rate than the quadratic over the interval 0 is less than or equal to x comma x is less than or equal to 5 ?

A
Image with description Coordinate plane with x- and y-axes labeled and a 1-unit grid. An exponential curve crosses the y-axis near 1 and rises steeply, reaching the top of the grid near x equals 1.5. A quadratic curve opens upward with a vertex at (0 comma 0) and rises more gradually, reaching the top of the grid near x equals 4.
B
Image with description Coordinate plane with x- and y-axes labeled and a 1-unit grid. An exponential curve crosses the y-axis near 1 and rises gradually, reaching the top of the grid near x equals 3. A quadratic curve opens upward with vertex at (0 comma 0) and rises very steeply, reaching the top of the grid near x equals 1.
C
Image with description Coordinate plane with x- and y-axes labeled and a 1-unit grid. An exponential curve crosses the y-axis near 1 and rises gradually, reaching the top of the grid near x equals 3. A quadratic curve opens upward with a vertex at (0 comma 0), passes near the exponential curve around (1 comma 2), and reaches the top of the grid near x equals 2.
D
Image with description Coordinate plane with x- and y-axes labeled and a 1-unit grid. An exponential curve crosses the y-axis near 1 and rises gradually, reaching the top of the grid near x equals 3. A quadratic curve opens upward with vertex at (0 comma 0) and rises steeply, reaching the top of the grid near x equals 1.5.
