To rewrite the cosine function \( f(x) = -3 \cos(x - \frac{\pi}{8}) + 2 \) as a translated sine function, we can use the identity that relates sine and cosine:

\[
\cos(x) = \sin\left(x + \frac{\pi}{2}\right)
\]

We will also need to account for the amplitude and translation.

1. Start with the cosine function:
\[
f(x) = -3 \cos(x - \frac{\pi}{8}) + 2
\]

2. Rewrite the cosine in terms of sine:
\[
f(x) = -3 \sin\left(x - \frac{\pi}{8} + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) + 2
\]

3. Simplify the inside of the sine:
\[
x - \frac{\pi}{8} + \frac{\pi}{2} = x - \frac{\pi}{8} + \frac{4\pi}{8} = x + \frac{3\pi}{8}
\]

4. Now putting it into the function, we have:
\[
f(x) = -3 \sin\left(x + \frac{3\pi}{8}\right) + 2
\]

5. Since there is a negative sign in front of the sine, we can rewrite it:
\[
f(x) = -3 \sin\left(x + \frac{3\pi}{8}\right) + 2 = -3 \sin\left(x - \left(-\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)\right) + 2
\]

Now we can look at the provided choices to find the correct answer:

- **Correct Answer: \( f(x) = -3 \sin\left(x + \frac{3\pi}{8}\right) + 2 \)**

So the correct option is:
\[
\boxed{f(x) = -3\sin(x + \frac{3\pi}{8}) + 2}
\]
