Answer: the third scenario only — "the total pay of a person whose rate of pay per hour is fixed at $15 per hour."

Reason: a linear function has a constant rate (slope). If pay = $15 × hours, that is linear. If the hourly rate changes with difficulty, job type, or with the number of hours, the rate (slope) is not constant, so you cannot represent pay by a single linear function.
