"Triples in size" means the growth factor is 3, so we expect to see that as the base of the exponent. That growth factor applies to a period of 6 minutes, or 1/10 hours. The number of 6-minute intervals in t hours is 10t, so we expect to see that as the exponent. The appropriate model could be written ...

  n(t) = 3·3^(10t) . . . . . matches no offered answer choice
