Explanation:

Each of the tables provided contains sets of ordered pairs. The input column represents the x-variables, and the output column represents the y-variables. We can tell if a set of ordered pairs represents a function when we match x-values to y-values. 

In order for a table to represents a function, there must be one and only one input for every output. This means that our correct answer will have all unique input values:
