Answer:

A. Height is input, Weight is output

Explanation:

We are given the statement,

"Weight is a function of height".

As we know,

In a function of the form
y=f(x), the input variable is 'x' and the output variable is 'y'.

If we write the given statement in the form
y=f(x), we get,


Weight=f(Height)

This means that the input variable is 'Height' and the output variable is 'Weight'.

Hence, option A is correct.
