The parent square root function
f(x)=√(x) has its graph on the first quadrant since both x and y are positive or zero.

The function
f(x)=√(x+3) -4 is the translation of the parent 3 units left and 4 units down, hence its start point moves to the third quadrant.

Said that, none of the attached graphs represent the given function.

The first graph is
f(x)=√(x+3) +4 , the middle one is not closer to the given function and the last one is
f(x)=√(x-3) -4.
