Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

The constant of proportionality is the constant value of the ratio of two proportional quantities x and y; usually written y = kx, where k is the factor of proportionality.

Given that the graph is a straight line, we can find the constant of proporctionality just by selecting a point, and then dividing the y-value by the x-value.

We can see from the graph that when y=5, x=4. Then, the constant of proportionality comes to be:

k = 5/4 = 1.25.

Then, the correct option is Option B.
