A worker is packing items into boxes. The table shows the linear relationship between the number of items the worker has packed in boxes after different amounts of time.

Which statement describes the rate of change of the number of items the worker packed in boxes with respect to the number of minutes the worker has been packing items in boxes
A. The worker packed 3 items in boxes per minute
B The worker packed * items per minute
C The worker packed 12 items in boxes per minute
D the worker packed 16 items in boxes per minute

Since the table is not provided, there is not enough information to determine the rate of change of the number of items packed in boxes with respect to the number of minutes the worker has been packing items. Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined.
