a. {(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 2)}

b. {(1, 2), (3, 6), (5, 4), (5, 2)}

c. {(1, 2), (3, 2), (5, 2), (7, 2)}

Please see the explanation below

Explanation:

The domain is #={1,3,5,7}#

The range is #={2,4,6}#

A function will have only one value in the imput (no repetition)

#(a)# is a function because the imputs are #={1,3,5,7}#

#(b)# is a not a function because the imputs are #={1,3,color(red)(5),color(red)(5)}#

#(c)# is a function because the imputs are #={1,3,5,7}#

#(d)# is a function because the imputs are #={1,3,5,7}#
