Answer:

C. Up.

Explanation:

We have been given that the parent function
y=√(x) is transformed to the function
y=√(x+7)+5. We are asked to describe the given transformation.

Let us recall the transformation rules.


f(x+a)=\text{Graph shifted to left by a units},


f(x-a)=\text{Graph shifted to right by a units},


f(x)+a=\text{Graph shifted upwards by a units},


f(x)-a=\text{Graph shifted downwards by a units}.

Upon comparing our transformed function with the parent function, we can see that the graph is shifted to left by 7 units and upwards by 5 units.

Therefore the correct choice is option C.
