Answer:

See below

Explanation:

When
0<a<1 , the parabola horizontally expands, so
a=0.25 matches with the rightmost graph.

When
a>1 , the parabola horizontally shrinks, so
a=4 matches with the leftmost graph

Last, but not least,
a=1 matches with the middlemost graph since the parabola is not affected.
