Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

A: The change in the linear approximation to f; dy depends on f' (x) and the differential dx.

B: The change in f; dy depends on f' (x) and the differential dx.

C: The change in f; dy depends on the differential dx only.

D: The change in the linear approximation to f; dy depends on the differential dx only.

I think the answer is A.
