### Find the Requested Function Value

Given the functions:
\[ f(x) = \frac{x - 9}{4} \]
\[ g(x) = 2x + 1 \]

We need to find \( (g \circ f)(33) \), which means we first apply the function \( f \) to \( 33 \), and then apply the function \( g \) to the result.

### Solution
1. **Find \( f(33) \):**
\[ f(33) = \frac{33 - 9}{4} = \frac{24}{4} = 6 \]

2. **Find \( g(6) \):**
\[ g(6) = 2(6) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13 \]

Thus, the value of \( (g \circ f)(33) \) is \( 13 \).

### Multiple Choice Answers
- A. \(\frac{29}{2}\)
- B. \(402\)
- C. \(13\)  <!-- Correct Answer -->
- D. \(18\)

Correct answer: **C. 13**
