Yes it is a function because there are not any repeating x values ( first number in each set of parentheses)
Answser: first option <span>350(0.95)^x + 30x - 350
Explanation:
You can figure out the </span><span>function that shows the difference in price between option 1 and option 2 if you make a table simulating the behavior for a few months:
month price as per option 1 price as per option 2
start 350 350
1 350 - 5% (350) = 350 - 30
= 350 (0,95)
2 350 (0,95)×(0,95) =
350 (0,95)² 350 - 30(2)
3 350 (0,95)³ 350 - 30(3)
So now you can figure out the price with each option after x months:
350 (0.95)ˣ 350 - 30x
And the difference is 350 (0.95)ˣ - [350 - 30x]
Which, expanding the square brackets, is 350 (0.95)ˣ + 30x - 350 ↔ the first option.

I believe it is B as well, it’s definitely not linear and it is a function from my understanding.
30 movies.
18=60%
then reduce it down to a more simple number
3=10%
multiply by 10
30=100%
