Answer:

The correct option is A,3875  passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

The curve of best fit for the date y=-5x^2+60x+3715

For April which month 4  which means that x is 4

By substituting 4 for x in the equation we can determine y, the number of passengers that arrived on flights at the airport  is determined thus.

y=-5*4^2+(60*4)+3715

y=-5*16+240+3715

y=-80+240+3715=3875

The number of passengers that arrived by flights in April, month 4 is 3875
