    D. All of the above.

    Explanation:

    We can model his budget constraint by the following first order function.

    2F + 100S = 500

    In which F is the number of food items that he buys and S is the number of shelters that he pays.

    So A. is correct.

    If we want to write this equation with F as a function of S, it is also possible:

    2F + 100S = 500

    2F = 500 - 100S

    F = 250 - 50s

    So B. is also correct

    Writing with S as function of F

    2F + 100S = 500

    100S = 500 - 2F

    S = 5 - 0.02F

    So C. is also correct

    The correct answer is:

    D. All of the above.
