It can not be a, because that is an exponential function, and the range gets exponentially larger as x gets larger.
It can not be b, because a in a parabola, there is a vertex, which means that there is a minimum or maximum value to y.
I haven't yet learned about logarithms, but I can assume that the range is not equal to the domain there.
It is d, because the range is eqqual to the domain, since y = x and y is the range and x is the domain.
Answer: D
