What is the end behavior of the graph of p, space?

(Choice A)
As x, right arrow, infinity, p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, right arrow, infinity, and as x, right arrow, minus, infinity, p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, right arrow, infinity.
(Choice B)
As x, right arrow, infinity, p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, right arrow, minus, infinity, and as x, right arrow, minus, infinity, p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, right arrow, infinity.
(Choice C)
As x, right arrow, infinity, p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, right arrow, minus, infinity, and as x, right arrow, minus, infinity, p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, right arrow, minus, infinity.
(Choice D)
As x, right arrow, infinity, p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, right arrow, infinity, and as x, right arrow, minus, infinity, p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, right arrow, minus, infinity.
