Answer: A

Explanation:

The vertical asymptote is the restriction on the x-value. Since the denominator cannot be equal to zero, then x + 1 ≠ 0 → x ≠ -1. So, the vertical asymptote is: x = -1

The horizontal asymptote is the restriction on the y-value. Since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is y = 0. However, there is a vertical shift of 2 units up so the horizontal asymptote is: y = 2

The only graph that displays these asymptotes is the first graph, which I call graph A.
