Answer:

B

Explanation:

Vertex form of a quadratic:


y=a(x-h)^2+k

Actual equation:


y=3(x+2)^2-3

This function can be rewritten as:


y=3(x-(-2))^2+(-3)

here, h=-2 and k=-3

the vertex is (h,k) so the vertex is (-2,-3) and the axis of symmetry is x=h. So the axis of symmetry is x=-2.

hope this helps!
