In a simple Cartesian plane, there are two axes, y-axis that is drawn vertically and the x-axis that is drawn horizontally. this problem asks for the an example of horizontal stretch. Thus, the example of horizontal stretch is the stretching of the graph away from the x-axis. Thus, the answer is letter C.
