Answer:

D

Explanation:

Since there is a negative sign, the graph is a n shaped quadratic curve and hence, there can only be maximum point. Hence we can eliminate A and C.

For a curve in the completing the square form y = (x+a)²+b, the turning points are (-a,b). Hence in this case, turning point is at (-5, 3).

Hence the correct option is D
