Answer:
Pattern B
<h3>
Explain: </h3>
A quadratic relationship is characterized by constant second differences.
<em><u>Pattern A
</u></em>
Sequence: 0, 2, 4, 6
First Differences: 2, 2, 2 . . . . constant indicates a 1st-degree (linear, arithmetic) sequence
__________________________________________________________
<em><u>Pattern B</u></em>
Sequence: 1, 2, 5, 10
First Differences: 1, 3, 5
Second Differences: 2, 2 . . . . constant indicates a 2nd-degree (quadratic) sequence
__________________________________________________________
<em><u>Pattern C</u></em>
Sequence: 1, 3, 9, 27
First Differences: 2, 6, 18
Second Differences: 4, 12 . . . . each set of differences has a common ratio, indicating an exponential (geometric) sequence
__________________________________________________________
Pattern B shows a geometric relationship between step number and dot count.
This would be a graph, a function is a straight line while a graph can be a scatter plot or something similar
