Answer: Upper right corner (northeast corner)

Why is this? This is the only relation that passes the vertical line test.

The other choices have situations where we can draw a single straight vertical line through more than one point on the blue curve. That means the graph fails the vertical line test and we do not have a function.

For a function to be possible, any x input must lead to exactly one y output.
