Answer:
C. <em>c</em> is less than zero
Step-by-step explanation:
The parent radical function y=x^(1/n) has its point of inflection at the origin. The graph shows that point of inflection has been translated left and down.
<h3>Function transformation</h3>
The transformation of the parent function y=x^(1/n) into the function ...
f(x) = a(x +k)^(1/n) +c
represents the following transformations:
- vertical scaling by a factor of 'a'
- left shift by k units
- up shift by c units
<h3>Application</h3>
The location of the inflection point at (-3, -4) indicates it has been shifted left 3 units, and down 4 units. In the transformed function equation, this means ...
The graph says the value of c is less than zero.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Apparently, the value of 'a' is 2, and the value of n is 3. The equation of the graph seems to be ...
f(x) = 2(x +3)^(1/3) -4
