Since the function f(x) has an expression inside the 'absolute value' operator, the minimum value this expression (|x + 3|) can have is 0, because it can never be equal a negative value.
So if the expression |x + 3| has a minimum value of 0, we have that the minimum value of f(x) is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=|x+3|-2_{} \\ f(-3)=0-2_{} \\ f(-3)=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore the correct option is the first one (1).
