which functions are symmetric with respect to the y axis

Answer:
A, B, and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Only the functions that have x by itself between the absolute value signs (A, B, and D) are symmetric with respect to the y-axis .
Placing a constant outside the absolute value signs moves the function up or down the y-axis but retains the symmetry.
Adding a constant inside the absolute value signs (as in C and E) moves the axis of symmetry to the left or right of the y-axis.
In the diagram, both A and B are symmetric with respect to the y-axis, but C has been shifted three units to the left.
