factor of 4.

B. The graph of g (x) is the graph of f (x) shifted 1/4 units right.

C. The graph of g (x) is the graph of f (x) horizontally stretched by a factor of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement A is closest to being correct. To get the graph of g (x), we compress the graph of f (x) vertically due to multiplying f (x) by (1/4).
