Answer: B

Explanation:

A graph or table is a function if it passes the vertical line test. That means, each x and only 1 y. One x cannot have more than 1 y because, that means it does not pass the veritcal line test. In the vertical line test, the vertival line only passes through 1 point, not 2. Since we know that this graph does not pass the vertical in test, we can eliminate C and D. We can eliminate A because 2 y-values can be the same as lone as there have different x. B fits the description of what we see on the table. Therefore, the answer is B.
