D is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height went from 25 to 10 cm ( = 15 cm) in 60 minutes . In 20 minutes it will be reduced by 5 cm so the original height was 30 cm ( at time 0).

Looks like option D :

y-25=-.25(x-20)

At x = 0 minutes, y = 30 so:

30 - 25 = 5

-.25(0 - 20) = 5  so that fits.

At time = 20 minutes

25 - 25 = 0

-.25(20 - 20) = 0  That fits

At time 80 minutes:

10 - 25 = -15

-.25(80 - 20) = -.25 * 60 = -15   That fits.
