The parent function is,


f(x)=5^x

The given function is,


g(x)=-3f(x+4)-4

As there is f(x+4) hence it will be shifted 4 units towards the left.

As the function f(x+4) is multiplied by 3 it will be stretched 3 times.

As the function 3f(x+4) is multiplied by -1 it will be reflected about the x-axis.

As the -4 is added to the function -3f(x+4), it will be shifted 4 units downward.

Thus, option (A) is the correct solution,
