Which one of these is an linear function , stuck between the two ?
NeTakaya

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

B would be classified as an absolute value function.

Even though C looks like it is just a horizontal line, it is continuous in all directions and does not curve or slant like letter B. Letter B would also have a different slope.
