Answer:

C

Explanation:

It cannot be A because it is a parabola, and what that means is the x^2. So, we can immediately eliminate that. This is because if you do a sketch of it it was the "U" shape. I am not positive, but I think that it is C because of the pattern going on in the y-coordinate. It goes +2, +4, then presumably +6. So then the (0,y) is (0,12). This would mean that the equation would end with +12. That is why C is the best choice. I hope that answered your question, and is correct!
