Answer:

C

Explanation:

In table C, each time x increases by one, y increases by 26 correspondingly. This suggests that y = 26x. The other 3 tables do not show a consistent pattern or relationship between x and y.

Table A can be disproved because, though it seems at first to be a multiple of -2 for every x value, the third data value (3, -16) disproves this. It would have to be (3, -6) for this relationship.

Table B has no clear pattern; the difference from the y values corresponding to x=1 and x=2 is 23, while the difference between x=2 and x=3 is also 23. However, there is no x & y relationship that can be defined to find x or y when given the other.

Table D has no clear pattern; the difference between x=1 and x=2 is 6, but the difference between x=2 and x=3 is 7.
