In a computer application, the area of a figure on the screen increases over time. This area, in pixels, is given by the function $A(t)=16(2{)}^t$, where $t$ is the number of seconds after the area of the figure begins increasing. Which statement is the best interpretation of $A(7)=2,048$ in this context?

A

$2,048$ seconds after the area of the figure begins increasing, its area is $7$ pixels.

B

$7$ seconds after the area of the figure begins increasing, its area is $2,048$ pixels.

C

$0$ seconds after the area of the figure begins increasing, its area is $2,048$ pixels.

D

$0$ seconds after the area of the figure begins increasing, its area is $7$ pixels.
