Answer:

A. (4,-3)

Explanation:

A reflection over the x-axis does the following transformation.


(x,y)\rightarrow(x,-y)

Now, if we are reflecting Q(4, 3) over the x-axis, the coordinates will transform according to the above rule and the coordinates of the image will be


(4,3)\rightarrow(4,-3)

which is choice A.
