Answer 2

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: A function is a relation in which each input value is paired to exactly one output value.

Technically, if you had the same input value twice and the same output value corresponded to each of those, it would still be a function because you are just repeating what you have twice.

However, most teachers want to think of it as each input value must have exactly one corresponding value to be a function.
