Answer:

Correct option:

"The total cost of renting a jet ski for $25 per hour plus a fee of $50."

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional relationships are associations between two variables where the ratio of these two variables are correspondent. Or, in a proportional relationship, one variable is a constant value times the other variable. This constant is known as the "constant of proportionality".

The first three options represents a proportional relationship.

But the last option does not.

"The total cost of renting a jet ski for $25 per hour plus a fee of $50."

That is,

TC = 25·h + 50

The relationship is linear not proportional.
