Explanation
In general, a vertically compression of a function f(x) is obtained by the transformation:
[tex]f(x)\rightarrow g(x)=\frac{1}{k}\cdot f(x).[/tex]
Where k > 1 is the factor of compression.
In this case we have f(x) = |x| and k = 4. Applying the transformation above, we get:
[tex]g(x)=\frac{1}{4}\cdot|x|.[/tex]Answer
C.
[tex]g(x)=\frac{1}{4}|x|[/tex]
