Polynomial End Behavior With Odd Degree

Mark

Let $p(x) = ax^n + bx^{n-1} + ... + c$ be a polynomial function where the leading coefficient $a > 0$ and the degree $n$ is odd. Which statement describes the end behavior of $p(x)$ as $x \to -\infty$ ?

$\lim_{x \to -\infty} p(x) = \infty$

The limit does not exist

$\lim_{x \to -\infty} p(x) = -\infty$

$\lim_{x \to -\infty} p(x) = 0$
