Answer:

D.
c(p) = 0.59p

Explanation:

Given,

Each pound of sugar costs $0.59,

⇒ Price of 1 pound of sugar = 0.59 dollars,

So, the price of p pounds of sugar = 0.59p dollars

If c(p) shows the cost of p pounds ( in dollars ) of sugar,

$\implies c(p) = 0.59p$

Which is the required function rule.

Option 'D' is correct.
