Answer: (C) (14,8)

============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the square is 36, so each side length is 36/4 = 9 units.

Point B is located at (5,17). We move down 9 units to get to (5,8), which is the location of point A. Then we move 9 units to the right to arrive at (14,8) which is point D's location.

Or we could go from B = (5,17) to C = (14,17) and then to D = (14,8). Each time we move 9 units.
