Let's solve the equation step by step.
Let the unknown number be \( x \).
According to the problem, we have:
\[ \frac{1}{4}(x - 3) = 2 \]
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
\[ x - 3 = 8 \]
Next, we add 3 to both sides to solve for \( x \):
\[ x = 8 + 3 = 11 \]
Thus, the number is \( 11 \).
The correct response is 11.
