Solve the Problem $\mathrm { R } ( \mathrm { x } )$

Solve the problem.
-Determine which rational function $\mathrm { R } ( \mathrm { x } )$ has a graph that crosses the $x$ -axis at $- 1$ , touches the $x$ -axis at $- 4$ , has vertical asymptotes at $x = - 2$ and $x = 3$ , and has one horizontal asymptote at $y = - 2$ .

A) $R ( x ) = \frac { - 2 ( x + 1 ) ( x + 4 ) ^ { 2 } } { ( x + 2 ) ^ { 2 } ( x - 3 ) } , x \neq z - 2,3$
B) $R ( x ) = \frac { - 2 ( x + 1 ) ( x + 4 ) } { ( x + 2 ) ( x - 3 ) } , x \neq - 2,3$
C) $R ( x ) = \frac { - ( x + 1 ) ( x + 4 ) ^ { 2 } } { 2 ( x - 2 ) ^ { 2 } ( x + 3 ) } , x \neq 2 , - 3$
D) $R ( x ) = \frac { - 2 ( x - 3 ) ( x + 2 ) ^ { 2 } } { ( x + 4 ) ^ { 2 } ( x + 1 ) } , x \neq - 4 , - 1$
