A relation can be defined as an association between two sets of data. More specifically, in the context of mathematics, a relation often refers to a set of ordered pairs, where each pair typically consists of an x-value (input) and a corresponding y-value (output). The definition provided in your options, "ordered pairs where each x-value is paired with only one y-value," specifically describes a function, which is a type of relation.
