Solve the problem.The table shows the number of deaths due to car accidents in a certain city in various years. 
Let n = f(t) be the number of deaths due to car accidents at t years since 2012. Suppose that you wish to model f using a quadratic equation. What is the vertex of the model? What does it mean in this situation?
A. (3, 270); the largest number of deaths due to car accidents was 270 in 2015
B. (5, 219); the smallest number of deaths due to car accidents was 219 in 2017
C. (0, 202); the smallest number of deaths due to car accidents was 202 in 2012
D. (2, 261); the largest number of deaths due to car accidents was 261 in 2014
