We have a property for odd functions, which is given below. Let f(x) be an odd function then it must satisfy the below - mentioned property.


f(-x)= -f(x)

Now, we have been given the function
f(x)=9-4x^2

For this function to be odd, it must satisfy the above written property.

Replace x with -x, we get


f(-x)=9-4(-x)^2

And, we have to also find


-f(x)=-(9-4x^2)

Hence, in order to the given function to be an odd function, we must determine whether 9-4(-x)^2 is equivalent to -(9-4x^2) or not.

Therefore, C is the correct option.
