Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

or

The y-intercept is the value of the function (output) when the value of x=0

In this problem

The output of the function P for x=0 is equal to 5

The output of the function Q for x=0 is equal to 4

therefore

The functions will have different outputs when x=0
