The given function is:


f(x)=3^x+1

It is required to choose which of the graphs represents the graph of the function.

To do this, find the y-intercept of the function by substituting x=0 and then compare it with the y-intercepts of the graphs.

Substitute x=0 into the equation of the function:


f(0)=3^0+1=1+1=2

Hence, the y-intercept is 2.

The graph with the y-intercept 2 is the required graph.

The graph is:
