The scatterplot below shows the amount of electric energy generated, in millions of megawatt-hours, by nuclear sources over a 10-year period.
The x-axis represents time (in years), and the y-axis represents energy (in million megawatt-hours)

Of the following equations, which best models the data in the scatterplot?

A.

$y = - 1.674 x^{2} + 19.76 x + 735.73$

B.

$y = - 1.674 x^{2} + 19.76 x + 745.73$

C.

$y = - 1.674 x^{2} + 19.76 x + 755.73$

D.

$y = - 1.674 x^{2} + 19.76 x + 765.73$
