Answer: D. [tex]y=\frac{1}{9} x^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation: The smaller the coefficient of a fraction by the quadratic function (the x squared value), the more narrow the graph becomes. 1/4 is larger than 1/9 and the other two whole numbers are still larger than 1/9. Even though -1 is less than 1/9, this only makes the graph flip, not make it any more narrow. Fractions are what squeeze graphs, negatives do not make a difference (i.e. -1/4 is the same size of narrowness as 1/4).
