Complete question below:

A particular strain of a common bacteria replicates itself every 14 minutes.

Which of the following does this situation represent? A. neither a relation nor a function B. both a relation and a function C. a function only D. a relation only

Function refers to rules or law that defines a relationship between independent variable and dependent variable.

Example of a function is when variable y is related to variable x such that whenever a value is assigned to x, there is a rule according to which a value of y is determined, then y is said to be a function of the independent variable x.

From the question, the strain of bacteria replicate itself every 14 minutes. This means the number of bacteria is determined by number of replications in 14 minutes.

y is the dependent variable on x, number of replications in 14 minutes.
