C

Step-by-step explanation:

The only one that doesn't require the initial part, since the initial part should be 0, in order, for a relationship to be proportional is answer C.

A) Initial fee of $3 (we need the initial to be 0).

B) Initial height of 4 ft (we need the initial to be 0).

C) I see nothing about a starting or initial so far this is it!

D) Initial fee is 50 dollars (we need the initial to be 0).
