Explanation:

For y = x^3 - 4 when x = 0, y = -4.

For y = x^2 + 3 when x = 0, y = 3.

Looking at the graph, the y-intercept of the function is below 0. Hence the bottom part is from x^3 - 4 and the top is from x^2 + 3.

The bottom part has a dark circle, which means when x = 1 it belongs to x^3 - 4.

Hence the answer is D.
