Answer:

B

Explanation:

many different values of x lead to the same value of y.

hence, many-to-one.

but it does not mean that all values of x have to lead to the same value of y. it could be, but it is not demanded. so, it is not necessarily a horizontal line.

and this does not give us any information about the power of x involved. so, we cannot make any statement about linear or non-linear function.
