Answer:

the second one

Explanation:

in order for it to be a function the x values CANNOT repeat.

in answer a the x value -6 repeats so that cannot be a function

in answer b none of the x values repeat so its probably this one but lets check the other ones just in case

in answer c the x value 8 repeats so it cannot be this one

in answer d the x value -2 repeats so it cant be this one \

b is the only one that does have repeating x values therefore it is the second one
