Answer is D. y-axis

Step-by-step explanation

Solve the quadratic
( -1, 0) (1, 0)

Now check solution with symmetry rules

❌ X axis Test of Symmetry
If replacing y with -y produces an equivalent equation, then the graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis

✅ Y axis Test of Symmetry
If replacing x with -x produces an equivalent equation, then the graph is symmetric with respect to the y- axis

❌ Origin Test of Symmetry
If replacing x with -x and y with -y produces an equivalent equation, then the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin
