To represent the third term in the geometric sequence shown in the table, we need to identify the values corresponding to the third entry in the row under "Minutes" and "Messages Sent".
The third term corresponds to when 2 minutes have passed and 9 messages were sent, which is given as (2, 9).
Hence, the correct response to represent the third term is:
(2, 9)
