Answer
When a point P(x, y) is rotated by 90° in the anticlockwise direction about the origin, the coordinates transform as P'(-y, x).
In this case, when the point (-3, 2) is rotated by 90° in the anticlockwise direction about the origin, we get the point (-2, -3).
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
