Answer:

Only A is a function

Explanation:

In order to have a function each value of x must pair with exactly ONE value of y

In A, each x pairs with one y, so we have a function

In B, notice that -2 pairs with 3 and 1, so we do not have a function

In C, notice that 9 pairs with 27 and 18, so we do not have a function

In D, notice that 3 pairs with 17 and 5, so we do not have a function
