Answer:

D) The graph would shift 5 units up.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) + n - shift the graph n units up

f(x) - n - shift the graph n units down

f(x - n) - shift the graph n units to the right

f(x + n) - shift the graph n units to the left

------------------------------------------------------------------

We have f(x) = x² - 8

f(x) = x² - 8          add 5 to both sides

f(x) + 5 = x² - 3

Therefore your answer is D)
