A model estimates that at the end of each year from 2015 to 2020, the number of rabbits in a population was $170\%$ more than the number of rabbits in the population at the end of the previous year. The model estimates that at the end of 2016, there were $216$ rabbits in the population. Which of the following equations represents this model, where $n$ is the estimated number of rabbits in the population $t$ years after the end of 2015 and $t\le 5$?

A

$n=80(1.7{)}^t$

B

$n=80(2.7{)}^t$

C

$n=216(1.7{)}^t$

D

$n=216(2.7{)}^t$
