To obtain the graph of 11ebb17b_2a08_6932_afdc_6936f4fb4c34_TB8591_11, we need to shift the graph of 11ebb17b_2a08_6933_afdc_a1dbe107bb18_TB8591_11 one unit to the left and then reflect it across the x-axis. Therefore, choice D is the best choice as it describes the correct horizontal shift and reflection. To obtain the graph of 11ebb17b_2a08_6932_afdc_6936f4fb4c34_TB8591_11 from the graph of 11ebb17b_2a08_6933_afdc_a1dbe107bb18_TB8591_11, we need to shift it horizontally 1 unit to the left (since the subscript changes from 6933 to 6932) and reflect it across the x-axis (since the final digit of the subscript changes from 8 to 4). This means that choice D is the best choice, as it specifies both of these transformations.
