A coordinate plane's axes range from negative 3 to 3, both by 1-unit increments. An S-shaped curve is plotted passing through 3 marked points.

A coordinate plane's axes range from negative 4 to 4, both by 1-unit increments. A straight line is plotted passing through 3 marked points in the first and third quadrants.

A coordinate plane's x-axis ranges from negative 3 to 3 and its y-axis ranges from negative 1 to 4, both by 1-unit increments. A concave up parabola is drawn passing through 3 marked points in the first and second quadrants.

The graph that could be the graph of a square root function would be the first one, with an S-shaped curve passing through 3 marked points in a coordinate plane ranging from negative 3 to 3. The shape of a square root function is similar to an S-shaped curve.
graph C or graph D graph b or graph a
Graph C could be the graph of a square root function.
