I hope you've learned synthetic division because that is the easy way to do this:
2 |    -3   -2   -1   -2
===         -6  -16  -34
      ==================
       -3   -8  -17  -36

The bottom right corner, -36, is the remainder. And the rest of the bottom row is the quotient. "-3 -8 -17" translates into . So the answer is "D".
