The correct answer for Which Spiral is not an Algebraic Spiral

Once you give the right answer, Ms Miyahara explains, “When the golden ratio is the growth factor, it’s called a golden spiral. Just as the name implies, you can graph an algebraic spiral using an algebraic equation. B is the Archimedean Spiral, C is a Parabolic Spiral and D is a Lituus. All of which are Algebraic Spirals.”

“Since A is a Logarithmic Spiral, it’s not considered an Algebraic Spiral. It’s a common spiral found in nature, such as on nautilus shells and sunflower seeds. No matter how far you scale in or out, the shape remains roughly the same. This is called self-similarity.” Who says gaming is just for fun? You can learn a lot too!
