Answer

choice $(B)$

Work Step by Step

Equation form: $\displaystyle \quad f(x)=\frac{N}{1+Ab^{-x}}$, where $N$ = limiting value, Reading the graph, we have: $N=8,$ no choice is eliminated. It is a decreasing graph, $b\lt 1$, which eliminates (C) $f(0)=2\Rightarrow\left\{\begin{array}{ll} 2 & =\dfrac{8}{1+Ab^{0}}\\ 1+A & =8/2\\ A & =4-1=3 \end{array}\right.\qquad\Rightarrow\qquad $choice $(B)$
