Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nonlinear function can contain terms with exponents other than 1, including exponents of 2 or higher (II), and can also contain terms that involve products of variables, including constants multiplied by two variables (III). Therefore, all three options (I, II, and III) can be present in a nonlinear function, making choice D the correct answer.
