Answer:

B. The graph is not a function.

Explanation:

We are given the graph of a relation.

It is required to determine whether the graph represents a function or not.

'Vertical Line Test' states that,

'If a vertical line passing through the graph of the relation cuts the graph at at-most one point, then the given graph represents a function else not'.

So, if we plot the vertical line 'x = 3' in the figure, we see that,

The vertical line drawn crosses the graph at two points A and B as shown below.

So, the graph fails the vertical line test.

Thus, the graph is not a function.
