If I graph this, I will see that it is "symmetric about the origin"; that is, if I start at a point on the graph on one side of the y-axis, and draw a line from that point through the origin and extending the same length on the other side of the y-axis, I will get to another point on the graph.

This symmetry is a hallmark of odd functions. So odd makes sense as an answer.
