The answer is the option A, which is: A.
G(x)= (1)/(4)|x|

The explanation for this problem is shown below:

1. The compressing of this functions is defined by the function
y=a|x|

Where
a is the constant and it must be:
a<1

2. As you can see, the only constant that is less than one is the constant of the first function
G(x)=(1)/(4)|x|, where
a=(1)/(4)
