Answer:

D is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

the following function satisfies each output to its input for the set D

f(x)=x/2

let's check each pair:

0/2=0

-1/2=-0.5

-2/2=-1

-3/2=-1.5

-4/2=-2

the reason why A, B, and C can't be pairs of inputs and outputs x and y it's because a variable x can't have more than one y (that's a behaviour of an equation not a function!)

- in A x=-1 | y=2, -2 and this wrong

- in B x=3 | y=9, 16 and this wrong

- in C x=0 | y=0, 1 and this wrong

I hope this was helpful
