Answer: Choice D in the bottom right corner

Reason

If it is ever possible to pass a single vertical line through more than one point on the curve, then that curve fails the vertical line test. Furthermore, it would mean that curve isn't a function.

This happens with choices A, B, and C. In other words, the top row and the graph in the bottom left corner. Any vertical line will fail the vertical line test.

Choice D, in the bottom right corner, passes the vertical line test. It is impossible to draw a vertical line through more than one point on the curve. Any x input in the domain leads to exactly one output in the range. Therefore, choice D is a function.

Answer:

The one on the bottom right corner

Explanation:

The vertical line test would be used to find out if it's a function or not. In 3 out of the four graphs, it crosses the vertical line twice, unlike the bottom right option.
