Function:

A function is a relation in which every input x has a different output value y.

If there is more than 1 outputs for the same input then it doesn't represent a function.

Let us analyze each of the given options.

Option A:

{(2, -1), (4, -2), (6, -3), (8, -4)}

As you can see, each input x has a different output value y.

Therefore, it is a function

Option B:

{(0, 0), (1, 1), (1, 0), (2, 1)}

As you can see, the input (1) has two different outputs (1 and 0)

Therefore, it is not a function.

Option C:

{(3, 3), (3,4),(4,3),(4,4)}
