Oil and gas production in a certain area dropped from 4 million barrels in 2000 to 1.9 million barrels in 2013. Assuming that the oil and gas production decreased at a constant rate, which of the following linear functions $f$ best models the production, in millions of barrels, $t$ years after the year 2000?
Difficulty: Hard
A:
$f(t)=\frac{21}{130}\,t+4$
B:
$f(t)=\frac{19}{130}\,t+4$
C:
\(f(t)=-\frac{21}{130}\,t+4\)
D:
$f(t)=-\frac{19}{130}\,t+4$
