A. It is the graph of g(x) shifted 2 units left and 5 units down.
B. It is the graph of g(x) shifted 5 units left and 2 units down.
C. It is the graph of g(x) shifted 5 units right and 2 units down.
D. It is the graph of g(x) shifted 2 units right and 5 units down.

Is my answer correct? C?

->transformed to
recall:

-> horizontal shift units in the opposite direction of the sign on
->horizontal shift left
->horizontal shift right
->shift up () or shift down ()
you have:
->horizontal shift units right
->shift down

so, answer is: C.
