Answer: A

Explanation:

If you look at option A and ignore the -(x+2)^2, it would say f(x) = -3.

So the vertex has y-coordinate -3.

Because the coefficient of -(x+2)^2 is negative, the graph opens downward.

Because it says -(x+2)^2 instead of -(x-2)^2, it will be on the left side of the graph.

The graph meets all of these conditions.

The graph described in option B opens upwards.

The graph described in option C opens upwards and the vertex is in the fourth quadrant.

The graph described in option D opens downwards, but the vertex is in the fourth quadrant.
