Answer 2

A function

Explanation:

The question is needed, but with the statement it can be determined that this situation would be, if a relationship or function, or given the case of both or neither.

Let's first define what a relationship is, define that a single input can have more than one output, applied to the statement would be that if you apply the same force in two different situations, the amount of candy that comes out may be different.

On the contrary, in a function for each input there is an output, a possible result, which is what they tell us in the statement.

Therefore this situation is represented by a function.
