### 2.4.85

**State whether the given relation is a function and explain why.**

To each day of the month there corresponds the low temperature in your hometown on that day.

Choose the correct answer below.

- **A.** The given relation is not a function because there may be more than one low temperature every day.
- **B.** The given relation is a function because there may be more than one low temperature every day.
- **C.** The given relation is not a function because there is only one low temperature every day.
- **D.** The given relation is a function because there is only one low temperature every day.

**Explanation:**

Option D is selected as the answer. 

Explanation for Option D:
The given relation describes a scenario where each day of the month corresponds to the lowest temperature for that particular day in your hometown. This implies a unique pair (day, low temperature) for each day of the month, as each day will have only one recorded lowest temperature. Hence, this constitutes a function because each input (day) has a unique output (low temperature).
