For homeomorphic graphs one can disregard vertices of degree 2

   (forget the vertex was ever there, but keep the edges). If you do
   that here, you get a graph with 4 vertices only: a,b,g,h. So this
   cannot be homeomorphic to K(3,3).

We clearly see that it cannot be homeomorphic to K(3,3) as we need atleast 3 edges from each verted connecting to the other set of vertices.
