Which graph represents an even function?

A
On a coordinate plane, a hyperbola has a curve in quadrant 1 and a curve in quadrant 3. The curve in quadrant 1 has a vertex at (2, 2) and goes through points (1, 5) and (5, 1). The curve in quadrant 3 has a vertex at (negative 2, negative 2) and goes through points (negative 5, negative 1) and (negative 1, negative 5).
Option A
B
On a coordinate plane, a function has two curves. The first curve is asymptotic to x = negative 3, goes through (negative 2, 0), has a minimum of (negative 1.5, negative 1), goes through (negative 1, 0), and connects with the second curve at (0.5, 3). The second curve starts at (0.5, 3), goes through (2, 0), has a minimum of (2.5, negative 1), goes through (3, 0), and is asymptotic to x = 4.
Option B
C
On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It goes through (negative 2, 0), has a vertex at (0, 4), and goes through (2, 0).
Option C
D
On a coordinate plane, a straight line has a negative slope. It goes through (negative 2, 4), crosses the y-axis at (0, 2), and crosses the x-axis at (2, 0).
Option D

Which graph represents an odd function?

A
On a coordinate plane, a function has two curves. The first curve is in quadrants 2 and 3 and has a minimum value of (negative 1, negative 3). The curve intersects the x-axis at (negative 2, 0) and goes to (0, 0). The second curve is in quadrants 1 and 4 and has a minimum value of (1, negative 3). The curve starts at (0, 0) and intercepts the x-axis at (2, 0).
Option A
B
