\begin{gathered} We\text{ are asked to find the graph that matches the following equation of an elipse: } \\ ((x-3)^2)/(9)+((y-2)^2)/(4)=1 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} An\text{ elispse will be in the form:} \\ ((x-h)^2)/(a^2)+((y-2)^2)/(b^2) \\ For\text{ an elipse, } \\ a>b\text{ always. Since the larger number is under the x}^2\text{ term, we can conclude that we have a horizontal elipse.} \end{gathered}

Furthermore, we have that the center of the graph is found at (3,2)

The correct option is therefore option B
