Answer: D


Step-by-step explanation: No,this is not a function.Since corresponding to one value of the domain there must exist its unique image.

i.e. if x∈D then f(x) must be unique.

As, temprature varies in a day.On any date temprature can't be constant.It keeps on changing.

So,here atleast one input results in more than one output
