Which statement correctly identifies an asymptote of f of x is equal to the fraction with numerator 16 x squared minus 35 and denominator x squared minus 5 using limits?

As x approaches positive or negative infinity, the leading terms dominate, so f(x) approaches 16x²/x² = 16. A finite limit as x approaches infinity identifies a horizontal asymptote, so the asymptote is y = 16. Therefore, choice C is correct.
