Answer:

Option C is the 3rd picture

see the attached figure

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
y/x=k or
y=kx

Let

x ----> the number of quarters

y ----> the number of minutes

we know that


k=y/x

Verify each table

First table

For x=1, y=5 ---->
k=5/1=5

For x=3, y=7 ---->
k=7/3=2.3

For x=5, y=10 ---->
k=10/5=2

The values of k are different

therefore

This table not shows a proportional relationship between the number of quarters and the number of minutes

Second table

For x=2, y=5 ---->
k=5/2=2.5

For x=3, y=8 ---->
k=8/3=2.7

For x=4, y=16 ---->
k=16/4=4

The values of k are different

therefore

This table not shows a proportional relationship between the number of quarters and the number of minutes

Third table

For x=2, y=10 ---->
k=10/2=5

For x=5, y=25 ---->
k=25/5=5

For x=7, y=35 ---->
k=35/7=5

The value of k=5

therefore

This table shows a proportional relationship between the number of quarters and the number of minutes

Fourth table

For x=4, y=8 ---->
k=8/4=2

For x=8, y=18 ---->
k=18/8=2.25

For x=12, y=28 ---->
k=28/12=2.3

The values of k are different

therefore

This table not shows a proportional relationship between the number of quarters and the number of minutes
