Answer:

(d) k = 8

Explanation:

The value k in the equation ...

g(x) = f(x) +k

represents a vertical translation by k units.

__

The vertex coordinates for f(x) and g(x) are ...

f(x): vertex = (-3, -3)

g(x): vertex = (-3, 5)

This means ...

f(-3) = -3

g(-3) = 5 = f(-3) +k = -3 +8 ⇒ k = 8

_____

Additional comment

Translations of various kinds are often most easily seen by comparing points where the graph has a distinctive feature. On this graph, that is the vertex.
