    C

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We need to use the distributive property to expand this.

    The property is:

    a (b+c) = ab + ac

    So, the part " - 3 (2b+1) " will becomes:

    -3 (2b+1) = (-3) (2b) + (-3) (1) = - 6b - 3

    So, the problem becomes:

    -2b - 3 (2b+1) = - 2b - 6b - 3

    Now, we add like terms:

    -2b - 6b - 3

    (-2-6) b - 3

    -8b - 3

    This is the correct answer, answer choice C
