y is not a function of x since the x value do not correspond to exactly one y value (option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

For y to be a function x, the x values must have only one y values.

Looking at the mapping:

-3 (x value) has two y values (-1 and 3)

-7 (x value) has two y values (3, 5)

Hence, y is not a function of x since the x value do not correspond to exactly one y value (option C)
