-The nonlinear relation can be transformed into the following linear regression model:

• A) \(Y = \ln \left( a R ^ { b } S ^ { c } T ^ { d } \right)\)
• B) \(\ln Y = \ln \left( a R ^ { \mathrm { b } } S ^ { \mathrm { c } } T ^ { \mathrm { d } } \right)\)
• C) \(\ln Y = \ln a \cdot \ln R \cdot \ln S \cdot \ln T\)
• D) \(\ln Y = \ln a + b \ln R + c \ln S + d \ln T\)
