We can plug in any real number for x to get some output for y. The domain is the set of all real numbers in which we say $(-\infty, \infty)$ which is interval notation. It represents the interval from negative infinity to positive infinity.

The range is the set of possible outputs. The smallest output possible is y = -5 which occurs at the vertex (3,-5). We can get this y value or larger. So we can describe the range as the set of y values such that $y \ge -5$ and that translates to the interval notation $[-5, \infty)$ .

The square bracket says "include this endpoint" while the curved parenthesis says to exclude the endpoint. Your teacher mistakenly wrote $(-5, \infty)$ for choice A, when they should have written $[-5, \infty)$

I think either your teacher made a typo or somehow the formatting messed up. Either way, choice A is the closest to the answer.
