Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is an odd degree polynomial (the highest degee is an odd number) so both ends will be in different directions, one will be up the other will be down. So rule out any option that has p(x) pointing in the same direction (A & C)

Now we are between B & D. Look at the leading coefficient 6 which is positive so we know that the left end goes down and the right end goes up. If the lc was negative the opposite would be true. So

D is the right answer
