The rule below shows how to find the position of a falling object. Which answer expresses that rule in the form of an equation?

Square the input and then multiply it by 16. Subtract this product from the original height of the object.

A. F(t) = (h - 16)t2
B. F(t) = h - (16t)2
C. F(t) = h - 16t2
D. F(t) = (h - 16t)2
