Test 5 Section 3 #13

Hi. Would it be possible for you to explain #13 on SAT practice test 5 on calculator inactive (the tea bag problem)? I think the main reason I found it confusing was the wording, and the SAT explanation for the answer was also a little bit wordy.
Thanks

The graph of a linear function f has a positive slope with intercepts (a,0) and (0,b)…

The graph of a linear function f has a positive slope with intercepts (a,0) and (0,b), where a and b are non-zero integers. Which of the following statements about a and b could be true?

A) a + b = 0

B) a – 2b = 0

C) a = b

D) 0 <a < b

(I only know that Choice C is out because that would be true only if the slope=1 and the line passed through the origin, but since a and b are non-zero integers, there can be no point (0,0), so that one answer choice is out. )
