Hello!

Remember: to be a function, each value of the domain must have only one range.

Knowing it, let's analyze the options:

A. {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5)}

okay, all elements in the domain just have one range.

B. {(4,1), (5,1), (6,1), (7,1)}

okay, all elements in the domain just have one range.

C. ((4,5), (4,2), (5,4), (2,4)}

Ops! When x = 4 in the domain, there are two different results in the range, and it cannot happen.

Answer:Alternative C is not a function.
