C. (1, 4)
D. (24, 6)
The constant of proportionality appears when the ratio between the amount of fruit punch mix and the amount of water is constant. In this case, the ratio is always 2 scoops of fruit punch mix for every 8 cups of water. Therefore, the constant of proportionality appears at the ratio (2, 8).
A. (2, 8)
