Which graph represents the equation y = – (x – 1)2 + 1?

A
On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (0, 2), has a vertex at (1, 1), and goes through (2, 2).
Option A
B
On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It goes through (0, 0), has a vertex at (1, 1), and goes through (2, 0).
Option B
C
On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It goes through (negative 2, 0), has a vertex at (negative 1, 1), and goes through (0, 0).
Option C
D
On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 2, 2), has a vertex at (negative 1, 1), and goes through (0, 2).
Option D
3
