Your answer should be B.

Explanation: Moving left or right affects the x coordinate, and moving up or down affects the y coordinate.

Moving 3 units down: A(1, 1 - 3), B(4, 2 - 3), C(3, 5 - 3) = (1, -2), (4, -1), (3, 2)

Moving 5 units to the left: A(1 - 5, -2), B(4 - 5, -1), C(3 - 5, 2) = A(-4, -2), B(-1, -1), C(-2, 2)

(Sorry I said A, earlier.)
