Answer:

C. -7x

Explanation:

Only one of the offered choices passes the horizontal line test: at most one point of intersection with any horizontal line.

__

A: a parabola opening upward, so will have two points of intersection with a general horizontal line (only one at the vertex).

B: a horizontal line, so will have an infinite number of points of intersection with a horizontal line.

D. A "V-shaped" graph that will generally have two points of intersection with a horizontal line (only one at the vertex).
