The correct option regarding whether the relation is a function is given by:

C. Yes, because one input will always the same output.

What is a proportional relationship?

A proportional relationship is a function in which the output variable is given by the input variable multiplied by a constant of proportionality, that is:

y = kx

In which k is the constant of proportionality.

Since each input is always mapped to only one output(input x, output kx), a proportional relationship is a function.

In this problem, k = 5.99 and option C is correct.
