Answer: last graph

Step-by-step explanation: Graphs of functions that are ODD, are symmetric about the origin.

Graphs of function that are EVEN, are symmetric about y-axis.

We need to figure out which one of the 4 are EVEN. So we take y-axis as the mirror and see both sides, LEFT and RIGHT and see i the points are symmetric or not.

Graph 1, 2, 3 ---- not symmetric about y-axis

Graph 4 ------- Definitely every point to left side of y-axis has a corresponding mirror point to the right of y-axis. So this is an EVEN FUNCTION.
