Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, the negative (in - 9) means that it is reflected over the x-axis. Then the 9 as a whole number means it is compressed vertically. X+3 means shifted three units to the left (It is the opposite for left and right in transformations.) Finally the - 5 indicated it is shifted down by 5 units.
