To simplify the expression $3x+5y+2x-3y$ , we need to combine like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variables raised to the same power.

Group the like terms together.
$(3x + 2x) + (5y - 3y)$
Combine the coefficients of the $x$ terms.
$(3+2)x = 5x$
Combine the coefficients of the $y$ terms.
$(5-3)y = 2y$
Write the simplified expression by combining the results from Step 2 and Step 3.
$5x + 2y$
Comparing this result with the given options:
A. $5x+2y$
B. $5x+8y$
C. $x+2y$
D. $6xy$

The simplified expression matches option A.

The final answer is $\boxed{\text{A. } 5x+2y}$ .
