Answer:

The top graph.

Step by step:

Before the tickets go on sale, 120 tickets were already sold.

After that, the tickets sell at a constant rate for a total of 8 hours.

At the end of this time, all the tickets were sold (we have 0 tickets left)

If x (horizontal axis) represents the hours since tickets go on sale, and y (vertical axis) represents the number of raffle tickets sold.

Then, at x = 0, we should already see y = 120

Because we start with 120 tickets sold.

Then, as x increases, the number of tickets sold also should increase, until we get x = 8 hours, where y stops increasing because all tickets are already sold.

Then we should have an increasing line that stops increasing at x = 8 hours.

Then the correct option is the above graph, where we have:

An increasing line.

y = 120 in the vertical axis (y = 120 when x = 0)
