Answer:
None of the above.
Step-by-step explanation:
All of these are functions. For each input of x, there is only one output of y. Therefore, they are all functions.
The C(x) equation is a parabola with a squared "x" and a positive leading term coefficient, meaning, is a vertical parabola and it opens upwards
the lowest point, or lowest cost value, it reaches, is the U-turn point, or vertex

so, the lowest cost is at
