Answer:

Option 2 and 5 are correct.

Explanation:

We need to tell which one of them is quadratic function.

Option 1 is exponential decay so, it is not quadratic.

Option 2 is quadratic because the diver will take the parabolic shape when jumps.

Option 3 is not quadratic.Option 4 is not quadratic it is linear.

Option 4 is again exponential not quadratic.

Option 5 is quadratic because it takes the parabolic shape again.
