To accurately respond to your question, I would need to see the options you’ve mentioned (A, B, C, D) as potential functions that model the scatterplot data. However, I can provide some guidance on how to approach this problem.

1. **Identify the General Trend**: Since the scatterplot shows a positive relationship, the function that best models the data will likely increase as x increases.

2. **Consider Different Types of Functions**: Your options might include linear functions, quadratic functions, exponential functions, or others. Compare the nature of the scatterplot with the characteristics of each function type.

3. **Look at Specific Points**: Since you provided some specific data points, particularly the x-values of 7, 11, and 13 with their corresponding y-values, checking how the possible functions align with these points can help narrow down the choices.

4. **Fit the Function**: If you have access to graphing software or a calculator, you could input the data points and use regression analysis to find a best-fit line or curve to compare with your options.

If you provide me with the specific functions in options A, B, C, and D, I could help you determine which one best fits the data points you mentioned.
