If the function y is equal to sine of x is transformed to y is equal to sine of 2 x , how does the graph change?

Replacing x with 2x makes the sine function complete each cycle in half the original distance: its period changes from 2π to 2π/2 = π. This makes the graph compressed horizontally, so the correct choice is “It is compressed horizontally.”
