Answer:

C.
y = 2\cdot x

Explanation:

The measure of the inscribed angle (
x), in angular units, is directly proportional to the measure of the intercepted arc (
y), in length units:


y \propto x


y = k\cdot x (1)

Where
k is the proportionality ratio, in length units per angular unit.

Hence, correct answer is
y = 2\cdot x. (Correct answer: C)
