Let's you and me discuss a few things that you already know:

-- What's a y-intercept ?
The y-intercept on a graph is the place where it crosses the y-axis.

-- That's the value of 'x' at the y-intercept ?
The y-intercept is on the y-axis, so 'x' is zero there.

-- Good ! So how would you find the y-intercept of a function ?
You say that x=0 and look at what 'y' is.

-- Very nice. What's the function in this question ?
The function is

f(x) [or 'y'] = x⁴ + 4x³ - 12x² -32x + 64 .

-- Excellent. What's the value oif that function (or 'y') when x=0 ?

It's just 64 .

-- Beautiful.
Are there any answer choices that cross the y-axis at 64 ?
How many are there ?

There's only one.
It's the upper one on the right hand side.
