Answer: B) Nonlinear

Explanation:

Since, a Linear functions can be defined by the equation y = mx + b.

And, a Linear functions have a constant rate of change, ( that is, it must have a slope)

Therefore, Linear functions graph is a straight line, no curves allowed. So, if the graph is a straight line, it is the graph of a linear function.

Since, when we check the graph we found that it is curved and also a curve does not have any slope.

Therefore it can not be linear.

And, a function which is not linear is called Nonlinear function.

⇒ It is a graph of non linear function.
