Answer:

I and III only

Explanation:

The graph is symmetrical about the y-axis, so is an even function.

The function is decreasing in the 1st quadrant, so is not increasing everywhere.

The values of the function approach y=0 for extreme values of x, so the graph shows that as a horizontal asymptote.

I and III only
