Which graph represents the function f of x is equal to 4 over x ?

A
Image with description A coordinate plane with a graph showing two branches. The branch on the left approaches the x-axis as x approaches negative infinity from the right and approaches the y-axis as x approaches 0 from the left. Its turning point is near (negative 1 comma 1). The branch on the right approaches the y-axis as x approaches 0 from the right and approaches the x-axis as x approaches infinity from the left. Its turning point is near (1 comma negative 1).
B
Image with description A coordinate plane with a graph showing two branches. The branch on the left approaches the x-axis as x approaches negative infinity from the right and approaches the y-axis as x approaches 0 from the left. Its turning point is near (negative 2 comma negative 2). The branch on the right approaches the y-axis as x approaches 0 from the right and approaches the x-axis as x approaches infinity from the left. Its turning point is near (2 comma 2).
C
Image with description A line graph on a Cartesian coordinate plane shows a rational function with two separate branches. The x-axis and y-axis are labeled with even integer values from negative 8 to 8. One branch lies in the first quadrant, passing through (1 comma 1) and approaching both axes without touching them. The second branch lies in the third quadrant, passing through (negative 1 comma negative 1) and also approaching both axes asymptotically.
D
Image with description A coordinate plane with a graph showing two branches. The branch on the left approaches the x-axis as x approaches negative infinity from the right and approaches the y-axis as x approaches 0 from the left. Its turning point is near (negative 2 comma 2). The branch on the right approaches the y-axis as x approaches 0 from the right and approaches the x-axis as x approaches infinity from the left. Its turning point is near (2 comma negative 2).
