Which of the following shows the graph of y is equal to negative 2 to the x th power minus 1 ?

A
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the curve approaches x axis for negative values of x in the third quadrant. It passes through (negative 1 comma negative 1), (0 comma negative 2), (1 comma negative 4), and decreases rapidly in the fourth quadrant.
B
Image with description A coordinate plane with a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis, both labeled from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 2. A curve extends horizontally to the left along the horizontal line y = 1 with an arrowhead pointing left. From left to right, the curve passes through 0 comma 0, 1 comma negative 1, 2 comma negative 3, 3 comma negative 7, and curves steeply downward into the fourth quadrant with an arrowhead pointing down.
C
Image with description A coordinate plane with a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis, both labeled from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 2. A curve extends horizontally to the left just below the x-axis with an arrowhead pointing left. From left to right, the curve passes through 0 comma negative 0.5, 1 comma negative 1, 2 comma negative 2, 3 comma negative 4, and curves steeply downward into the fourth quadrant with an arrowhead pointing down.
D
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the curve approaches the line y equals negative 1 for negative values of x in the third quadrant. It passes through (0 comma negative 2), (1 comma negative 3), (2 comma negative 5), and decreases rapidly in the fourth quadrant.
