The general expansion of a function using taylor series at any given point  $x=a$  for a function  $f(x)$  is given as :

 

$f(x)=f(a)+\frac{f'(a)}{1!}(x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!}(x-a)^{2}+...$  (Refer: Taylor Series Definition)

 

So the coefficient of the term  $(x-3)^{5}$  would be  $\frac{f'''''(3)}{5!}$

Here,  $f(x)=e^{\frac{x}{2}}$    $\Rightarrow$   $f'(x)=e^{\frac{x}{2}}\times (\frac{1}{2})$

$\Rightarrow$   $f''(x)=e^{\frac{x}{2}}\times (\frac{1}{2})^{2}$

$\Rightarrow$   $f'''(x)=e^{\frac{x}{2}}\times (\frac{1}{2})^{3}$

So, similarly   $f'''''(x)=e^{\frac{x}{2}}\times (\frac{1}{2})^{5}$

$\therefore$   at  $x=3$,  the value of the coefficient would be :   $e^{\frac{3}{2}}\times \frac{1}{2^{5}5!}$.

Option B is the correct answer.
