C. The parent function will be moved to the right 4 units and down 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A number added/subtracted inside the parentheses causes a horizontal shift in the opposite direction of the sign and a number added/subtracted outside the parentheses causes a vertical shift in the direction of the sign. Since a 4 is subtracted inside and a 5 is added outside The parent function will be moved to the right 4 units and up 5 units.
