(i) for
(ii) for
(iii) for
(iv) for

(ii) for
(iii) for
(iv) for
Correct answer
(B) (i), (ii) and (iv) only.
Solution
Let's evaluate each function against the provided graph:(i) For , the graph is a straight line passing through and .
Slope .
Equation: . This matches the graph. (Correct)(ii) For , .
At .
At .
At .
These points match the graph. (Correct)(iii) For , .
At .
However, the graph at shows . (Incorrect)(iv) For , the graph is a horizontal line at . This matches . (Correct)Functions (i), (ii), and (iv) are accurate descriptions. Thus, the correct option is (B).
