Use the given recursion and starting value of
to find
:

Do the same for
and
:


(That's not a mistake. This just tells you that the 2nd and 3rd iterates are very close together and have at least the same first 5 digits after the decimal.)
The vertex of the graph is (2,-4). It is a minimum as it is the lowest point on the parabola facing upwards. This would be option C.
