f of x equals, x squared, plus 4

The function f is defined as shown. Which of the following graphs in the xy-plane could be the graph of y equals, f of x ?

A.

​​​​​​​The answer choice presents the graph of a curve in the x y plane, with the origin labeled O. The numbers negative 8, negative 4, 4, and 8 are indied on each axis. There are horizontal gridlines at the numbers negative 8 through 8, in increments of 2, on the y axis, and there are vertical gridlines at the numbers negative 8 through 8, in increments of 2, on the x axis. The figure presents an upward opening parabola, whose vertex lies at negative 4 on the y axis. The parabola crosses the x axis at negative 2 and 2.

 

B.

There are horizontal gridlines at the numbers negative 8 through 8, in increments of 2, on the y axis, and there are vertical gridlines at the numbers negative 8 through 8, in increments of 2, on the x axis. The figure presents an upward opening parabola, whose vertex lies at negative 4 on the x axis. The parabola passes through the point with coordinates negative 6 comma 4, and the point with coordinates negative 2 comma 4.
