Step-by-step explanation:

The first option is not correct, because a line at y = 2 is an horizontal line and a parabola has a vertical line of symmetry.

Option b is not accurate either, because the coefficient for the expression that contains 'x' is negative. This gives a parabola that has a maximum and its branches are pointing down.

For option c it could be true if the point was (2, -4) since that's the point of the vertex. Therefore the minimum is at x = 2, y = -4

The line of symmetry of this parabola is x = 2, so option e is wrong too.

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. The function has a minimum value of -4
