The graph of $p(x) = (x - 3)^2(x + 1)$ has two x-intercepts.
Which statement correctly describes the graph's behavior at each intercept?

The graph crosses at $x = 3$ and bounces at $x = -1$ .

The graph bounces at $x = 3$ and crosses at $x = -1$ .

The graph crosses at both $x = 3$ and $x = -1$ .

The graph bounces at both $x = 3$ and $x = -1$ .
