    D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A proportional relationship is defined by a linear equation whose y-intercept is zero.

    Thus, we immediately reject answers A, B, and C because all involve a non-zero y-intercept.

    D is the correct answer. We combine the unit cost $1.75/lb with the shipping fee $0.16/lb, obtaining a unit cost of $1.91/lb. The desired linear equation with zero y-intercept is then

    C (x) = ($1.91/lb) x, where x is the number of pounds of avocados sold.
