A company collected data for the number of text messages sent and received using a text-message application since October 2011. The table shows the number of text messages sent and received in billions over time. The data can be modeled by a quadratic function.
Text Messages
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline Number of Months since October 2011, $ t $ & Number of Text Messages, $ n(t) $ (billions) \
\hline 5 & 3 \
\hline 10 & 10 \
\hline 15 & 17 \
\hline 20 & 27 \
\hline 25 & 44 \
\hline 30 & 64 \
\hline 35 & 86 \
\hline 40 & 112 \
\hline
\end{tabular}
Which function best models the data?
A) $ n(t)=-0.002 t^{2}+5.02 $
B) $ n(t)=-0.002 t^{2}+0.55 t+5.02 $
C) $ n(t)=0.072 t^{2}-0.15 t+2.73 $
D) $ n(t)=0.072 t^{2}+2.73 $
