Answer:

D.
g(x) = x^(2) + 3

Explanation:

Since the upscaling in the y-axis is not the main focus of this equation (being g(x) and not g(y)), the change is not applied to the x-axis. Hence, we can rule out (x-3)^2 and (x+3)^2 since they apply changes to the x-axis.

Finally, since this is an upscaling of the y-value on the y-axis, the answer is x^2 + 3 and not x^2 - 3.

Hope this helped!
