Answer:
<u>B</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the line of symmetry :
⇒ Two x-values have the same y-coordinate → (-5) and (-3)
⇒ This means the symmetry is exhibited and it lies between these 2 x-values
⇒ Line of symmetry : <u>x = -4</u>

=============================================================
Now, on plotting these points on a graph we see that this graph has a negative coefficient.
⇒ This means this graph will have a maximum point as the vertex
⇒ The vertex lies on the line of symmetry, hence the vertex (according to the graph and table) is <u>(-4, 0</u>)
Hence, we can say that <u>the maximum occurs at the function's x-intercept</u>.
