Answer:

Neither A or B

Explanation:

Hello There!

In order for a set of ordered pairs to represent a function none of the x values can repeat

In answer choice A the x value 7 repeats therefore the set of ordered pairs do not represent a function

In answer choice B the x value 7 repeats therefore the set of ordered pairs do not represent a function

so we can conclude that neither set of ordered pairs represent a function
