A function $p$ estimates that there were 2,500 whales in a population in 1998. Each year from 1998 to 2010, the function estimates that the number of whales in this population increased by 7% of the number of whales in the population the previous year. Which equation defines this function, where $p(x)$ is the estimated number of whales in the population $x$ years after 1998?

A

$p(x)=2,500(7{)}^x$

B

$p(x)=2,500(1.93{)}^x$

C

$p(x)=2,500(1.07{)}^x$

D

$p(x)=2,500(0.93{)}^x$
