It should be d

Arrange the equation in slope intercept form:  y=4x+5  Slope is +4  so the parallel line must have a slope of 4.

The first equation is an identity and is the same line.
The second equation can be rearranged and the slope is y=-4x-2 slope is not the same.
third equation is y=4x-2.  It's slope is a +4 and it is parallel
Fourth line is 1/2y=2x+5/2   multiply this by 2 and get y=4x+5  Not that this too is an identity,and is the same line that is in the problem.
This leaves the third one as the best answer.
