Answer:
B. (see attached)
Step-by-step explanation:
All the answers agree that the function is x² for x < 1. Where they disagree is in the slope and y-intercept of the linear portion for x > 1.
The line has a slope that is less than 1 unit of rise for 1 unit of run, so will not be selections A or C, which have slopes of 3.
The y-intercept is clearly positive if we extend the line to the left until it reaches the y-axis. This eliminates selection D from consideration, leaving only selection B.
