Answer:

The answer is B) There is one proportional relationship

Explanation:

The green line (the one at the top) does not go through the origin. This is not a proportional relationship.

Problem: It does not go through 0,0

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The blue line (the one in the middle) is a straight line through the origin. This is a proportional relationship.

Reason: It goes through 0,0

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The purple line (the one at the bottom) does not go through the origin. This is not a proportional relationship.

Problem: It does not go through 0,0

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion: Since the green and purple lines are not proportional but the blue line is, this means only 1 line is proportional.

Note:

I know my answer is very late but I wanted to help anyone who needs it for future reference.
