B) 31 is the cost per day to rent the car and $0.18 is the cost per mile. The $31 cost is fixed, then 18 cents is added for each mile driven.

Answer: Hello mate!

the function is c(x) = 31 + 0.18*x

where $31 is a fixed cost, and $0.18 is the cost per mile drive (where the number of miles driven)

So the fixed cost, $31, is the cost per day of rent (this price does not depend on the number x), and the linear cost, $0.18, is the cost per mile driven (because this number is multiplied by x in the function), then the right answer is B: "$31 is the cost per day to rent the car and $0.18 is the cost per mile."
