The table below shows values for two functions of x. table :
x: -1 | 0| 1| 2| 3| 4|
f(x): -9.5| -9| -8| -6| -2| 6|
g(x): 8| 10| 12| 14| 16| 18|

The values for f(x) represent an exponential function. The values for g(x) represent a linear function. Which statement is valid about the two functions as the values for x continue to increase?

A
The value for g(x) always exceeds the value for f(x) because a quantity increasing linearly always exceeds a quantity increasing exponentially.

B
The value for f(x) never exceeds the value for g(x) because a quantity increasing linearly never exceeds a quantity increasing exponentially.

C
The value for g(x) never exceeds the value for f(x) because a quantity increasing linearly eventually exceeds a quantity increasing exponentially.

D
The value for f(x) eventually exceeds the value for g(x) because a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly.
