To simplify the expression \( (3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x) \), we can combine like terms.

1. First, distribute the addition:
\[
3x^2 - 2 + 11 - 5x
\]

2. Next, combine the constant terms and the like terms:
- Combine constants: \(-2 + 11 = 9\)
- Combine like terms for \(x\): there are no \(x\) terms in the first part, so it remains \(-5x\).

3. Putting it all together, we have:
\[
3x^2 - 5x + 9
\]

Therefore, the simplified expression is \( 3x^2 - 5x + 9 \).

So, the correct response is:

**3x^2−5x+9**
