Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-intercerpt form is:


y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the intersection of the line with the y-axis.

For the graph of the line
f(x)=2x, you can identify that:


m=2\\b=0

And for
g(x)=2x+3, you can identify that:


m=2\\b=3

Therefore, you can observe that the slope does not change, but now the line
g(x)=2x+3 cuts the y-axis at
y=3. In other words, it was moved from
y=0 to
y=3 (3 units on the y-axis)

Then, it is the graph of
f(x)=2x translated 3 units upward, which means that the graph of g(x) is 3 units above the graph of f(x).
