To shift the polygon three units to the right, we will add 3 to the x-coordinate of each vertex. To shift it four units upwards, we will add 4 to the y-coordinate of each vertex. Therefore:
(-5,-3) becomes (-2,1)
(-3,6) becomes (0,10)
(-5,-4) becomes (-2,0)
(-4,-7) becomes (-1,-3)

Thus, the coordinates of the vertices in the new position are: (-2,1), (0,10), (-2,0), and (-1,-3), which is exactly the same as the coordinates in choice A.
