  1. e^-x decreases, so it is clearly not a choice.

    All the rest have slopes that grow to infinity, and it makes little sense to compare infinities.

    Still,
    e^(x+3) = e^3 * e^x
    e^(2x) = (e^x)^2
    e^(3x) = (e^x)^3
    of all those, I'd say that e^(x+3) grows most like e^x, but its slope is always e^3 times as much. Poorly worded question. k*∞ = ∞^2 = ∞^3 = ∞.
