Relations and functions are very closely related. While all functions are relations, not all relations are functions. That's because functions are a special subset of relations. For a relation to be a function, there must be one and only one y value for each x value. If there are two pairs of numbers that have the same x value but different y values, then the relation is NOT a function.

Now with that being said this is A (it is a function)
