The function BEST models this data will be a linear function. Then the correct option is C.
<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>
A relationship between two or more parameters that, when shown on a graph, produces a linear model. The degree of the variable will be one.
The linear equation is given as,
y = mx + c
Where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept of the line.
