You want to learn some qualities of polynomial functions.

P would not be odd, seeing that starting from any degree a multiple of 2, such function could but not necessarily, be even, but not odd. Also, for degree of polynomial even and leading coefficient negative, the ends point down, so P will decrease as x tends toward plus or minus infinities.

Choice C.
