The correct statement is C. One input has more than one output.

A function is a special type of relation in which each input is associated with exactly one output. In the given table:

Input 1 is associated with two different outputs (120 and 140).

Input 4 is associated with two different outputs (450 and 450).

This violates the definition of a function, where each input should have only one corresponding output. Therefore, the correct statement is:

C. One input has more than one output.
