Answer:

A.
g(x)=-x^2

Explanation:

In flipping across x-axis a function gives its mirror image through the x-axis,

That is, when a function f(x) is flipped over x-axis,

Then the new function would be -f(x).

Here, the given function,


f(x)=x^2

After flipping the function over x-axis,


g(x)=-f(x)


\implies g(x)=-x^2

Hence, option 'A' is correct.
