The correct answer to this question is Choice D: y = c

This is a horizontal asymptote at y = c. The c is the constant value that is added on to the function. The first part of the equation "y=ab^x" is always going to be a positive number bigger than zero. Therefore, the graph will always be just a little bit bigger than c, it can't equal c.
