Answer:

answer D

Explanation:

Lets have a look to the graph and to the each of given functions.

As we can see in graph it intersects X in points (-3;0) and (-6;0) that means the function has the roots x1=-3 and x2=-6

Function A has the roots x1=+3 and x2=+6 => doesn' t fit

Function B has only 1 root x=2 , so can be factorized y=(x-2)^2 => doesn' t fit

Function C has 2 roots x1=4 and x2=-5 => doesn' t fit

Function D can be factotized as y=(x+6)*(x+3) so has 2 roots x1=-6 x2=-3 => exactly what we need!!!

We can also notice that the coefficient near x² is equal to 1 and is positive.

That means the legs of the graph directed up,- this is exactly like in our graph. It gives us extra argument why we choose D.
