The easiest way to work this is to note that the a Sine wave is zero when it starts at zero, but this one starts before x=zero.  Its transformation is moved left, so its phase shift is positive.
And that is amplitude is 1/2 of its minimum to maximum value (40) which equals 20.  this says that is shifted upwards by 25.
So B. is the answer.
