Much as you would like it to be D, it isn't. D has its center at (3,4). You must change the sign on both numbers inside the brackets.
You need something that looks like (x + 3)^2 + (y + 4)^2. So it could be A or B. How do you know which? The graph should give you an answer, then we'll talk about it. The red circle is A the blue circle is B. Which one is correct?
The answer to that is that the center is 5 units away from the origin. The radius of this circle is the sqrt(25) = 5 units away from the center. The blue one has a radius of sqrt(5) which is something over 2. It is not enough. So what's the answer?
