Answer:

Option B can be quadratic.

Explanation:

Take a look at the data.

A quadratic equation is of the form ,


y = ax^(2) +bx + c,

where, a,b,c are constants.

To find an unknown equation of 3 variables,

we need 3 points lying on the equation.

here they have given, 5 points, meaning all should lie on the curve.

For first option, inserting first 3 points to find equation, we get equation as,


y = x^(2) -4x +11, but the rest points don't satisfy the curve.

So first option is not quadratic.

Similarly, it can be shown that option C and D are also not quadratic.

While, in option B, it is clear that for every y, x is y squared,


x = y^(2), thus quadratic in nature.
