Given the task definition and input, reply with output. You are given a mathematical question described with an open-ended vocabulary. Questions in this task involve real-world situations, describing a mathematical problem. You are also given 4 or 5 answer options (associated with "A", "B", "C", "D", "E"). Do not generate anything else apart from one of the following characters: 'A', 'B, 'C', 'D', 'E'. LaTeX mathematical format (the standard way to express mathematical expressions in the typesetting software known as LaTeX) is used to express equations. Each question is solvable with high school math knowledge. Give only one answer for each question.

The number of turtles in Mosquito Pond has doubled every three years since the pond was discovered. The number of turtles in the pond can be described as \(n = (x)2^{\frac{t}{3}}\), where t is the number of years since the pond was discovered, n is the number of turtles in the pond at time t, and x is the number of turtles in the pond when it was discovered. If there were 160 turtles in Mosquito Pond nine years after it was discovered, then how many turtles lived in the pond the year it was discovered?
(A)2 (B)10 (C)20 (D)40 (E)160
