Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

The equation of a circle with centre coordinate (a, b) and radius r is :

\((x - a)^{2} + (y - b)^{2} = r^{2}\)

Given centre = (2, -3) and radius r = 2 units

Equation = \((x - 2)^{2} + (y - (-3))^{2} = 2^{2}\)

\(x^{2} - 4x + 4 + y^{2} + 6y + 9 = 4\)

\(x^{2} + y^{2} - 4x + 6y + 4 + 9 - 4 = 0 \implies x^{2} + y^{2} - 4x + 6y + 9 = 0\)
