To represent the third term in the geometric sequence from the table, we need to identify the pair of values corresponding to when 3 minutes have passed.

In the table:

  • For 3 minutes, the number of messages sent is 27.

Thus, the point representing the third term in the geometric sequence is (3, 27).

The correct response is: (3, 27)
