Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is

[tex]y=x^2[/tex]

The transformed function is

[tex]y=-2(x-2)^2+2[/tex]              .... (1)

The translation is defined as

[tex]f(x)=k(x+a)^2+b[/tex]                .... (2)

Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

From (1) and (2) it is clear that

[tex]a=-2,b=2,k=-2[/tex]

It means,

a=-2<0 the graph shifts 2 units right.

b=2>0 the graph shifts 2 units up.

k=-2, the graph reflect across the x-axis and stretch by the factor 2.

The graph reflect across the x-axis, translate 2 units to the right, translate up 2 units, stretch by the factor 2. Therefore the correct option is D.
