Answer:

A. c = kn

Explanation:

The cost c varies directly as the numbers n of pencils

This means that c is a multiplication of a constant by n, which is the number of pencils. So the equation for the cost is given by:


c = kn

In which k is the constant of proportionality, that is, the cost of each pencil. So the correct answer is given by option A.
