    Option A.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Based on the information provided on the question

    the function used to model Tony's run is:

    f (x) = - 250*x + 5000

    This means that after x = 20 minutes, Tony will arrive to the finish line

    f (20) = - 250 * (20) + 5000 = - 5000 + 5000 = 0

    The function is always decreasing, because we are dealing with a line with negative slope.

    Option A.
