Explanation:

come in ! think a little bit by yourself !

when x = 1, what is f(x) ?

it is f(1) = 1² = 1

what is then g(x) ?

g(1) = 1/4 × f(1) = 1/4 × 1 = 1/4

when x = 2, what is f(x) ?

f(2) = 2² = 4

what is then g(x) ?

g(2) = 1/4 × f(2) = 1/4 × 4 = 1

and equally for x = -1 and -2.

a square function always delivers positive numbers. and so does the square function multiplied by a positive constant (like for g(x)).

the only graph, where the curve is always above the x-axis (only positive results), and where the functional value for x = 1 is much smaller than 1, and the functional value for x = 2 is actually 1, is graph D.

so, D is the right answer.
