Step 1: Begin by understanding the definition of a function in calculus. A function is a relation between two sets, typically called the domain and codomain, where each element in the domain is assigned exactly one element in the codomain.
Step 2: Analyze the options provided in the problem. The correct definition must align with the principle that every element in the domain has a unique corresponding element in the codomain.
Step 3: Eliminate incorrect options. For example, the option stating 'a process that matches every element in the domain to at least two elements in the codomain' contradicts the definition of a function, as it violates the rule of uniqueness.
Step 4: Verify the correct option. The statement 'a relation that assigns to each element in the domain exactly one element in the codomain' matches the formal definition of a function in calculus.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is the option that adheres to the definition of a function, ensuring clarity and understanding of the concept.
