Below

Explanation:

#y=sintheta+0.25# can also be written as #y=0.25+sintheta# which is in the form #y=b+asin(ntheta)#
where #a# is the amplitude and #b# is the shift upwards or downwards and #n# is the phase shift

Now when we compared #y=0.25+sintheta# and #y=b+asin(ntheta)#, we can say that:

#b=0.25#
#a=1#
#period(T)=(2pi)/n=(2pi)/1=2pi#

Therefore, we know that #y=sintheta+0.25# is the graph #y=sintheta# shifted UPWARDS by #0.25# units and they also have the same phase shift #(2pi)#

Below is graph #y=sintheta#

graph{sinx [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Below is graph #y=sintheta+0.25#

graph{0.25+sinx [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
