### Match the Function with the Graph

Below is a task to match the function with its corresponding graph based on the given options.

#### Functions:

A) \( g(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x - 4)^2 \)

B) \( g(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^2 + 4 \)

C) \( g(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^2 - 4 \)

D) \( g(x) = (x + 4)^2 \)

#### Graph Explanation:

In the middle of the image is a coordinate plane with the x-axis and y-axis ranging from -10 to 10. There is one parabola graphed which opens upwards and has a vertex at the point (0, -4).

#### Visual Analysis of the Graph:
1. **Vertex Identification**: The vertex of the parabola appears to be on the y-axis at (0, -4).
2. **Opening Direction**: The parabola opens upwards, indicating a positive leading coefficient.

Given this information:

- Option A \(\left( g(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x - 4)^2 \right)\) shifts the graph to the right.
- Option B \(\left( g(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^2 + 4 \right)\) shifts the graph upwards.
- Option D \(\left( g(x) = (x + 4)^2 \right)\) shifts the graph to the left.
- Option C \(\left( g(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^2 - 4 \right)\) shifts the graph downwards by 4 units.

Considering the graph provided, the correct function that matches the graph is:

**C) \( g(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^2 - 4 \)**

The graph shows a parabola opening upwards with a vertex at (0, -4), which corresponds to the function \( g(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^2 - 4 \).
