Solution

The correct option is D

Neither directly nor inversely


The condition for two variables x and y to be directly proportional

xy = constant

and condition for inversely proportional

xy = constant

The given equation does not satisfy any of these conditions. So, y is neither directly nor inversely proportional to x.
