Answer: C.

Explanation:

1. You have the following equation of the parabola in Vertex form:

y=a(x-h)^(2)+k

Where h is the x-coordinate of the vextex and k is the y-coordinate of the vextex.

2. You know that the vertex of this parabola is at (-2, 5), then, susbtitute this point into the equation. Then, you obtain:

y=3(x+2)^(2)+5

3. Therefore, the answer is the option C.
