Explanation

Choice C is correct. It's given that fx=x3+9. Substituting 2 for x in this equation yields f2=23+9. This is equivalent to f2=8+9, or f2=17.

Choice A is incorrect. This is the value of 2+3+9, not 23+9.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the value of 23+9, not 23+9.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the value of 32+9, not 23+9.
