The graph or equation that represents a nonproportional relationship is C. y = 0.375x.

The answer is C. The equation y = 0.375x represents a nonproportional relationship. In a proportional relationship, the equation would have a constant ratio, such as y = 2x or y = 0.5x. In this case, the ratio is not constant; it depends on the value of x. Therefore, it represents a nonproportional relationship.
