Answer:

Sets A and B correctly represents a function

Explanation:

Sets can be rewritten as follows

A)

x | y

-----

-1 | 5

1 | 3

6 | 4

B)

x | y

-----

-4 | 5

0 | 0

2 | 0

4 | 6

C)

x | y

-----

-3 | 5

0 | 2

0 | 3

0 | 4

1 | 1

Every function relates inputs (x-values) with outputs (y-values). But every x-value has to have one and only one correspondent y-value. In set C there are 3 y-values associated with x = 0; so, it isn't a function. There is no problem with sets A and B
