To determine the vertex of the quadratic function related to the square root function in the given graph, we need to know the shape and orientation of the curve. However, based on the standard properties of quadratic functions related to square roots:

1. A square root function generally opens to the right if it's a standard function, but if it's associated with a quadratic form, it could have its vertex at the point of maximum or minimum depending on the parabola's orientation (opening up or opening down).

Without the visual information of the graph, we can make educated guesses based on common vertex forms:

- For the function \( h(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k \), where \( (h, k) \) is the vertex.
- If the square root function \( \sqrt{x} \) is involved, its typical vertex is at the origin \( (0, 0) \), but any transformations can shift it.

The responses you provided list four points: \( (0, 2) \), \( (2, 0) \), \( (-2, 0) \), and \( (0, -2) \).

If we consider properties of square roots and potential transformations:
- \( (0, 2) \): Could relate to an upward shift.
- \( (2, 0) \): Could relate to a right shift.
- \( (-2, 0) \): Should be a left shift.
- \( (0, -2) \): Could relate to a downward shift.

Assuming you're asking for a common transformation of a parabola that relates to a square root function, without additional information:

**The most likely answer is \( (0, 2) \), which represents a typical positive vertex for a function related to a square root that has been vertically shifted upwards.**

So the most logical response is:

\( (0, 2) \)
