To find the common difference of the associated arithmetic sequence represented by the linear function in the table, we need to look at the differences in the values of Y as X increases.

Let's calculate the differences:

- From Y(1) to Y(2): 22 - 9 = 13
- From Y(2) to Y(3): 35 - 22 = 13
- From Y(3) to Y(4): 48 - 35 = 13
- From Y(4) to Y(5): 61 - 48 = 13

The common difference is 13 for each step.

Therefore, the answer is:

D. 13
